Tian Weinberg from the Department of Small Business Services does not provide specific numbers on job creation by storefront size.
- She notes that businesses with fewer than 50 employees account for about 25% of the city's workforce.
- These smaller businesses were responsible for almost 50% of job growth in the last 2 years.
- While no exact figures are given, Weinberg indicates that storefront businesses typically employ at least a few workers.
