Rep. Walberg Encourages Constituents To Support Local Small Businesses On November 26th
Congressman Tim Walberg is encouraging constituents to support their local and small businesses this Saturday, one of the busiest shopping days of the year. The day will mark the 2nd annual “Small Business Saturday”, a national initiative to drive shoppers to small businesses in their own towns and cities. Small businesses create about 7 out of every 10 new jobs in the country and they employ just over half of the country’s private sector workforce.
“It’s great to see the community rallying around their small businesses, knowing that the success of the economy hinges on their growth. And with small businesses creating the majority of our nation’s jobs it’s time the government steps up its game to create an environment in which they can thrive. The House already passednumerous jobs bills that will help small businesses and encourage job creation. It’s now time for the Senate to do its part and stop blocking legislation that will support our local small businesses,” commented Congressman Tim Walberg.
