"75 percent of the jobs created in the state of Ohio are created
in small business. They are not created by huge corporations and
those who are very wealthy." William G. Batchelder on Friday,
February 4th, 2011 in an interview on WCPN 90.3 FM Ohio House
Speaker William G. Batchelder says small businesses create three
of four jobs The term "small business" covers a range of seven
different size categories, ranging from a two-person mom-and-pop
grocery store to a factory with nearly 500 employees. Which is
why researchers at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics chuckled
when we asked them about a statement Ohio House Speaker William
G. Batchelder made about small businesses creating new jobs.
Appearing on WCPN 90.3 FM’s "Sound of Ideas" program, Batchelder
noted the importance of small businesses in Ohio’s economy.
"Seventy-five percent of the jobs created in the state of Ohio
are created in small business. They are not created by huge
corporations and those who are very wealthy," Batchelder said.
