Analysis of Small Business and Jobs.
(05/01/2014)
Small and large firms have differing roles in the labor market. Relatively new data now allow us to better dissect the labor market with respect to job flows (hires, fires, retires, and job hoppers) and firm size and even in some instances firm age. Understanding who creates and destroys jobs is paramount as we seek a solution for our loss of over 7 million net jobs from December 2007 to December 2009. While small and large firms provide roughly equivalent shares of jobs, the major part of job generation and destruction takes place in the small firm sector, and small...

Small and large firms have differing roles in the labor market. Relatively new data now allow us to better dissect the labor market with respect to job flows (hires, fires, retires, and job hoppers) and firm size and even in some instances firm age. Understanding who creates and destroys jobs is paramount as we seek a solution for our loss of over 7 million net jobs from December 2007 to December 2009. While small and large firms provide roughly equivalent shares of jobs, the major part of job generation and destruction takes place in the small firm sector, and small firms provide the greater share of net new jobs. In some ways this role as a major creator and destroyer of jobs is a result of being the major creator and destroyer of businesses in general. The term for this in small business research circles which was popularized by Joseph Schumpeter (1942) is creative destruction. David Birch (1979) discovered that the end result of small businesses creative destruction was a net increase in employment. This finding was the seed for the small business employment discussion that continues to the present day. And even more important than the ensuing debate about Birchs findings was the motivation to gather new kinds of data to better analyze Birchs findings. This has led us to two decades of a data evolution with respect to small business employment flows. The following is a primer for understanding some basic facts about small businesses role in employment and the data that are available to form opinions and develop hypotheses. The paper is broken into sections discussing the static view of the labor market, the dynamic view, current events, and concluding remarks. The static view illustrates small and large firm shares of the job market; these are essentially snapshots
