Boomtown Institute – In Rural America Small Business in King

Greater numbers of rural people are self employed or work for small business than in urban areas. Small businesses also create most of the new jobs in rural America, and during an economic downturn our economies rely even more heavily on the ingenuity of rural people as they start new businesses that rebuild our economic prospects.

Investing in small businesses also helps revitalize our main streets and build our communities. That is why I was pleased to hear recently that Washington is paying attention to the needs of rural small businesses.
