Two fresh statistics from the U.S. Labor Department underscore the importance of small business creation to the American economy. The feds reported last week that 192,000 jobs were added nationwide in March; meanwhile, the U.S. manufacturing sector lost 1,000 jobs for the month. A thousand jobs are a rounding error when spread over a nation of 330 million people, but it illustrates continued employment consolidation within a vital sector. It also begs the question: If not within manufacturing, what kinds of businesses are creating those 192,000 jobs?
