The
Small Business Association of Michigan knows where the jobs are in Michigan. The organization’s new Michigan’s Small Business Jobs Insight is a new program that tracks and report the jobs created by growing small business across the state. SBAM has partnered with Capital Gains’ parent company Issue Media Group to help tell the story of Michigan’s job growth one business at a time.
“There are hundreds of companies out there, creating one, two and three jobs at a time," says President & CEO of SBAM Rob Fowler. "And that's how it works."
The reporting tool of the project is
MichiganJobsInsight.com, a website that includes jobs reported by small businesses in the current month, the percentage of jobs added in each Michigan region, total jobs reported year to-date, the top ten industries for small business job growth, and links to IMG stories covering regional small business job growth.
“Each one of these numbers has a story attached to it," says Fowler. "I find that small businesses are a little shy about telling their story."
Though the numbers reported on MichiganJobsInsight.com do not reflect a scientific count of every job created in Michigan, Fowler explains that is an understated count that shows progress being made by small businesses in Michigan.
SBAM’s Michigan’s Small Business Jobs Insight website isn’t the only way to keep up with the state’s latest jobs numbers. Michigan Jobs Insight can be found on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
