What this country needs is more small businesses. So the U.S. Department of Labor recently announced it was providing $35 million for states to help develop, enhance, and promote Self-Employment Assistance programs to encourage unemployed Americans to realize their\u00a0dreams of business ownership.<\/p>\n

The program allows \u201cparticipants who are currently receiving or eligible for federally funded Emergency Unemployment Compensation and Extended Benefits\u201d to receive \u201cfinancial assistance equal to their Unemployment Insurance benefits while they receive important\u00a0entrepreneurial training and resources to help launch their own businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Small Business Vital to Recruiting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Small businesses not only create opportunity for their owners, but they create opportunities for other small businesses, as well as job seekers in the community<\/a>. As the Small Business Administration suggests:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 The overall importance of the small busi\u00adness community has been well documented and the importance of new venture creation is widely recognized.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And nowhere is this more important than in the creation of new jobs. In fact, as of 2010, the SBA reported that small businesses (fewer than 500 employees per the SBA) accounted for 75 percent of net new jobs in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Additionally, a study conducted by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) suggested that entrepreneurship is a major factor in any country\u2019s well-being in both economic and job growth.<\/p>\n

Technology Makes Small Businesses Competitive<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, the difficulty for many small businesses and entrepreneurs is in competing with larger organizations. That\u2019s where technology can provide an advantage.<\/p>\n

Technology makes small businesses competitive. As Stephanie Faris suggests in her article, \u201cTechnology Helps Small Businesses Restore Competitiveness to U.S. Economy\u201d:<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to technology, those smaller companies can now compete with the largest corporations in the country. Cloud services are leveling the playing field, allowing small and mid-sized businesses to tackle larger projects \u2026\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And one such large project is managing the recruiting function. That\u2019s where PCRecruiter<\/a> can help.<\/p>\n
