[QUOTE="unionman, post: 695958, member: 21107"] By Intuit's count, a recovery in Main Street's job market has been under way for a few months already. Small business employment grew 0.8% in the past eight months, translating into a net 150,000 new jobs since June 2009, when the market hit its nadir, according to Intuit. "Small businesses generally recover faster than larger businesses," said Susan Woodward, the economist who worked with Intuit ([URL="http://money.cnn.com/quote/quote.html?symb=INTU&source=story_quote_link"][COLOR=#004276]INTU[/COLOR][/URL]) to create the index "To see these figures showing a rise in employment at small businesses is very heartening at a time when good news is scarce." President Obama and some in Congress would like to add more fuel to the labor market's recovery spark. Last week, the Senate passed a [URL="http://money.cnn.com/2010/02/24/news/economy/senate_approves_jobs_bill/index.htm?postversion=2010022411"][COLOR=#004276]$15 billion jobs bill[/COLOR][/URL] that includes several hiring incentives, including a Social Security tax break for companies that hire the unemployed. The measure is now being considered by the House of Representatives [/QUOTE]
