National Small Business Week 2023: Shop Small to Support Your Local Community

Small businesses account for 1.5 million jobs annually and drive about 44% of the economic activity in the United States. This makes them the backbone of the market – providing employment opportunities, fostering innovation, and meeting the unique needs of their local communities. For this reason, the Small Business Administration (SBA) hosts National Small Business Week (NSBW) as an annual event to recognize the contributions of small businesses.
