As a leader in small business payroll with more than 1 million customers, Intuit has a wealth of information about small business employment. We've launched the Intuit Small Business Employment Index to provide a unique view into small business employment trends. This Index is one of the few to focus on employment trends for companies with fewer than 20 employees, which represent 87 percent of all U.S. employer firms and employ nearly 20 million people1. We believe that these smallest of small businesses play a key role in the economy that is different in interesting ways from that of larger businesses.
This monthly Index offers statistically-sound, near real-time data that measures three data points: small business employment, hours worked and compensation. The data for the Index is pulled in aggregate from approximately 57,000 employers across the country that use Intuit Online Payroll and is published monthly on a close to real-time basis.
