The Obama administration has invested $15 billion dollars to aid small businesses. This investment reflects that President Obama gets it that small businesses will drive economic recovery. A White House statement underscored this by noting that small companies have generated 70% of new jobs annually over the last decade.

So the handwriting is on the wall.  Make sure that you target small companies when putting together your job search plan.  Also, you’d be wise to focus on robust industries such as education, healthcare, alternative/renewable energy, and government.
