Small Biz by the Numbers

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, there were 27.2 million businesses in the United States.

Of the 27.2 million businesses:

98% had less than 100 employees

89% had less than 20 employees

79% had less than 10 employees

61% had less than five employees.

I don't know why, but these numbers really blew me away. It is pretty amazing to think nearly 90% of the more than 27 million businesses in the United States have fewer than 20 employees.
