Abstract

The view that small businesses create the most jobs remains appealing to policymakers and small business advocates.Using data from the Census Bureau Business Dynamics Statistics and Longitudinal Business Database, we explore the many issues at the core of this ongoing debate.We find that the relationship between firm size and employment growth is sensitive to these issues.However, our main finding is that once we control for firm age there is no systematic relationship between firm size and growth.Our findings highlight the important role of business startups and young businesses in U.S. job creation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
