Washington, D.C. (February 4, 2020) – NFIB, the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, issued the following statement on behalf of Acting President Brad Close in response to President Trump’s State of the Union address:
“Small businesses are increasing compensation, creating jobs, and reinvesting in their companies at record levels, thanks in large part to tax cuts and the de-regulatory agenda. Two out of every three net new jobs are created by small businesses – small businesses in America are the third largest economy in the world, and their efforts are vital to our nation’s economic growth. We look forward to continuing to work with the administration and Congress to make small business tax relief permanent.”
