In what is not particularly surprising, February jobs data shows continued losses. And, equally unsurprising, small business and medium sized business were the categories that suffered the most. The Financial Times reports on the losses according to business size:

Mid-sized and small businesses suffered the most job cuts last month,

shedding 314,000 and 262,000 workers respectively. Large companies –

those with more than 500 employees – cut 121,000 jobs.

This offers continued evidence that more needs to be done in order to help small business owners survive. Even though the "big guys" are in the news a lot, the fact of the matter is that small business and medium sized business does most of the employing in this country. Perhaps its time to focus on bolstering the smaller businesses so that they do not have to keep making layoffs.
