Before you hit the mall on Friday, remember that Saturday is Small Business Saturday — a day dedicated to supporting America’s small businesses during the busiest shopping weekend of the year. With more than two hundred organizations joining American Express OPEN in declaring the Saturday after Thanksgiving as Small Business Saturday, consumers across the United States are urged to “shop small” by shopping at their favorite local stores and supporting the small businesses that create jobs, boost the economy and preserve neighborhoods around the country.
With two out of every three new American jobs created by small businesses, doing your holiday shopping at a local business is also a great way to help our neighbors looking for work.
A strong supporter of Delaware small businesses, Chris has highlighted the significance of investing in America’s twenty-first century workforce since his first day in office, urging Congress to come together and pursue a new manufacturing agenda that will lead to the creation of inventive businesses and hire workers for more skilled, domestically based, and sustainable jobs. Recently, Chris teamed up with Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in introducing the AGREE Act, a bipartisan bill focusing on policy proposals that support job creation and benefits small businesses.
Saturday is a perfect time to support our friends and neighbors who throughout the year are growing our local economy and “shop small!”
