Small Business Week Proclaimed
President Reagan has proclaimed May 6-12 “Small Business Week.” Small businesses employ half of the private sector workforce, and generated all of the 982,000 new jobs created between 1980 and 1982, according to the Small Business Administration. Small businesses across the United States generate 39 percent of the gross national product. A “Small Business Person of the Year” representing every state will be honored at White House and Capitol Hill ceremonies later this year.
