Introduction

This book exposes how the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), using erroneous data, have developed and perpetuated the belief that "small business creates all the new jobs".

Historical Context

It shows further that, since the early 1990s, this belief has become a mantra for allowing the SBA and NFIB to lobby effectively for preferential treatment such as low-interest loans and exemption from mandated employee benefits and worker safety regulations.
