Daines Encourages Montanans to “Shop Small,” Tomorrow

In recognition of Small Business Saturday, Senator Steve Daines is encouraging his fellow Montanans to “shop small” and join him in highlighting the important contributions that Montana’s small businesses make to Montana’s economy year round.

“Small businesses are the backbone of Montana’s economy,” Daines stated. “When small businesses grow, our economy grows. Our country was founded on hard work and entrepreneurship and I’m proud that Montana small businesses continue to lead the way and exemplify the best of our country’s heritage. I encourage my fellow Montanans to shop small and join me in supporting Montana small businesses not just this Saturday, but every day.”

According to the Small Business Administration, small businesses significantly impact Montana’s economy. Small businesses represent 97.5 percent of all Montana employers and employ 68.4 percent of Montana’s private-sector labor force.
