Open the Doors

When the recession hit in 2008, small businesses all over were forced to let employees go or close doors. The majority of businesses in Utah have less than one hundred employees so this was really hard for many people to go through. That being said, even though so many got let go, once the economy started back on track, small businesses started to hire those people back. This helped the economy grow even more to get back on track. Hiring in small businesses has created a commitment to keeping those businesses alive.

This applied to the historical aspect of my research as I looked at the recession and what it did for small businesses. In this, I learned that the more people who are hired into small businesses tend to stay and work better than those in a large company. Small businesses are a risk, so having loyal employees is a must.
