8. White House Small Business Agenda
and Special Report | Impossible Dreams
Small businesses are the engine of the American economy, having created 64 percent of new American private
sector jobs generated in the past 15 years—that’s 40 million net new jobs according to the Council of Economic
Advisers. Recognizing this critical role that small businesses play in the U.S. economy, President Obama is
committed to ensuring that small businesses continue to receive the tools and resources they need to address the
challenges they face. These initiatives offer support to small businesses so they are able to bring the power
of their ideas to the marketplace in ways that can catalyze and transform our economy, creating jobs through new
innovations in products and services..
