This week, National Small Business Week, which has occurred each year since
1963, recognizes the contributions of entrepreneurs and small business
owners in the United States. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration
(SBA), more than half of Americans either own or work for a small business,
which SBA defines as an independent business having fewer than 500 employees.
Small businesses created about two out of every three (63 percent) net
new jobs in the U.S. from 1993 to 2013, and 60 percent of net new jobs
since 2009. Behind these broad numbers is the critical role immigrant
entrepreneurs play in America’s small business environment.
