Abstract
The COVID-19 crisis is the greatest economic shock since the Great Depression, and it is landing hardest on our nation’s small businesses, the heart of local economies and community life. The pandemic has reminded us of the outsized role small businesses play in our economy, employing 47% of the U.S. workforce, generating two-thirds of new jobs, and serving as a critical path to economic self-sufficiency. But the pandemic has also revealed not only the fragility of many of these enterprises but profound deficiencies in how they are supported by federal policies, private practice, and local action.
In response to this challenge, we have prepared Big Ideas for Small Business, released today by the Nowak Metro Finance Lab at Drexel University and Yale University’s Institution for Social and Policy Studies, a report that calls for additional emergency measures to stabilize small businesses as well as systemic change in the way we give small businesses access to the capital, customers, and services they need to succeed.
