If one excludes schools, non-profits, local, state and federal governments and their directly funded entities, the table that is available by clicking on the PDF icon below is an eye opener.
Caution: If you like to split hairs over numbers, these are 2005 data for the most part. The recession has had an impact, no doubt. Nevertheless, the table provides some very powerful insights into the size distribution and nature of for-profit employment in the United States.
This data was available to the Federal Government from its own agencies BEFORE it passed the Stimilus Bill.
QUESTION: What would you have done if you were making the decisons inside the Federal Bubble if you had taken the time to get and digest this data?
Question: Did you notice that companies having more than 100 employees only have between 50 to 60 employees per establishment, i.e. location?
Translation: gaining an enterprise in your county that has about 50 to 60 employees is a bigger deal than 50% of the for-profit establishments owned by the bigger entities.
Question: Did you also notice that only 1% of the for-profit firms have more than 100 employees?
Translation: real job growth comes from the ultra-small sector.
Challenge: really study the table carefully. You just might gain some unique insights that will be helpful as you seek to develop your own opinions on this vital matter.

ABOUT THE USBA.us
This is a service to enhance the outlook for the ultra-small business community in the United States: 3,000,000 independently owned firms seeking the pride and freedom of entrepreneurship by doing business with each other.
Ultra-small firms represent more than half of the for-profit enterprises in the USA, and their people are the roots that nourish and feed all larger firms, non-profits, churches, and local, state and federal governments in America!

Parting thought for the reader that got this far: One must ask, "Are the people in the banks completely powerless to make any independent business decisions, as reflected by so many bank Vice-Presidents (due to regulations and fear)?" Has the development of central banks eliminated the basis for the banking concept when it comes to ultra-small business and non-profit enterprises (for example your local churches)?
