Small Business Presidential Poll Now Available on DollarDays
Thursday, September 18th, 2008
DollarDays International has a new poll up on their site to test the political climate of it’s visitors. The goal is to see which candidate small business owners think will be the "best Commander In Chief of Small Business." Simply go to www.dollardays.com and look for the poll on the right hand side of the page. Results are updated every 15 minutes.
The idea for this poll occurred after the SBA queried "How Important is Small Business to the U.S. Economy?" Here’s what they concluded:
• Represents 99.7 percent of all employer firms.
• Employs about half of all private sector employees.
• Pays more than 45 percent of total U.S. private payroll.
• Have generated 60 to 80 percent of net new jobs annually
over the last decade.
• Creates more than half of nonfarm private gross domestic
product (GDP).
• Supplied 22.8% of the total value of federal prime
contracts in FY 2006.
• Hires 40% of high tech workers (such as scientists,
engineers and computer workers).
• Are 52 percent home-based and 2 percent franchises.
• Made up 97% of all identified exporters and produced
28.6% of the known export value in FY 2004.
