Will Obama count on small firms to create jobs?
President Obama is considering to give incentives to small businesses for hiring more people. But question is that they are having will, capacity or they having enough ability to do that?
According to analysts President’s economic speech will promote the job creating ideas.
Obama is expected to emphasize on job creating ideas as:
· Giving people cash incentives for fixing up their homes with energy saving materials.
· Giving incentives to small business that hire new workers.
· Spending more on roads, bridges and other public works.
· Giving federal money to state and local governments to keep them from laying off public employees.
On Dec 3 President Obama told that he believe that government has a critical role in creating the conditions for economic growth, ultimately true economic recovery is only going to come from the private sector. He added that they are not having enough public dollars to fill the hole of private dollars that was created as a consequence of the crisis.
Numerous people consider that small businesses are the key to job creation in current recession that is still shedding jobs.
Statistic shows that small businesses could solve unemployment. United States is having 6 million small businesses that have employees and almost 22 million one-person firms.
According to these statistics if every small employer just add a one more job and even half those nonemployers added a job, then 16 million unemployed will vanish. But there is a problem with statistics that they count the real world but don’t exist there, like the mismatch between the work that may need to be done and the skills of folks on the unemployment line.
About this matter small businesses expert says that small businesses will be having problem to drive new job creations as they have in the past, but right now they are unable to secure credit from the banks. More helping for them can be the incentives or regulations compelling banks to lend more money to small businesses.
The largest advocacy group for small businesses, The National Federation of Independent Business says that access to capital is way down the list of problems for business owners in its monthly surveys.
NFIB says that until the sales wont increase the owners wont gain the confidence to create more jobs.
Carl Schramm , president of the Kauffman Foundations says that its not all that small businesses that create jobs, the foundation report shows from 1980 through 2005 nearly all the net job creation in the United States came from firms less than 5 years old. Based on that Schramm recommends:
· A special visa creation for the immigrants who start new businesses in the U.S. and keep the jobs here.
· Giving young companies a payroll holiday so that can hire more people.
· Providing clearness about taxes and future regulations to refrain unintended and harmful consequences to entrepreneurs.
· Creating fellowships for recent PhDs to start businesses that commercialize their academic research.
· Exempt some businesses from the Sarbanes-Oxley requirements so they will public more quickly.

Are you Over Worked?
I’m tired. For a couple years I’ve been blaming it on lack of sleep and too much pressure from my job, but now I found out the real reason:
I’m tired because I’m overworked.
The population of this country is 237 million.
104 million are retired.
That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work.
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work.
Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work.
You and me.
And you’re sitting at your computer reading jokes.
