I recently saw an interview with the current SBA Administrator Maria Contreras Sweet.  She was discussing how the current national unemployment rate is impacting small businesses.  Ms. Sweet’s position is that two out of every three new jobs are created by small business, so the need to find talent is critical not only to the success of the small business community, but also to our national economy.

Happy recruiting!
