The latest edition of the Small Business Profiles for the States and Territories is now available.

A copy of the state profiles can be found at
http://www.sba.gov/advo/research/profiles/

The profiles contain great detail about small businesses at the state level. They cover the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the United States, and also provide limited data on the U.S. territories. The profiles show that small businesses are a significant part of every state economy, and they are important employers in every state. Small businesses employ 44% of the workforce in Florida (the low end of the range), and they employ 69.8% of Montana’s workforce (the high end).
