It’s a widely held view that putting people back to work will help our economy get back on track. But where are the new jobs going to come from? Small businesses have traditionally been the primary drivers of job creation in the United States, however recent employment statistics show that business owners are getting by with fewer employees.

That prompts three questions:
  • Why aren’t small businesses hiring?
  • Why aren’t more small businesses being created?
  • And is the environment for starting a business now different than it was a few years ago?
