Small Businesses are Driving the Trump Recovery
*By SBA Administrator Jovita Carranza*
Americas small business sector is on the road to recovery, and it is happening much faster than the experts predicted. More than half the jobs lost to the pandemic have already been regained. This comeback is not happenstance; instead, it is a result of the Presidents decisive leadership.
While state economies were shutting down as a result of necessary public safety orders, the President was mobilizing the greatest public-private disaster response in modern history.
So far this year, the SBA has approved more loans by both value and volume than it has in all of the years combined over its 67-year history.
