If the Detroit auto makers go under, that's only 3 million more jobs lost. But that is also thousands of small businesses that disappear that supply everything that the auto assembly plants assemble. That gets the country to double digit unemployment and makes the U.S. a 3rd world economy that is not emerging, but sinking ever lower.

6.7%, 533000 job cuts, 1.9 million jobs lost in 3 months...Job cuts are really out of control. The critical step now is to identify companies out there who are providing opportunities in these tough times. Here's a pretty good site that specially unites these employers to save main street - http://www.jobstaxi.com/savemainstreet
Matt Bandyk, a reporter for U.S. News, explores capitalism from where it all begins, with the entrepreneur, whose risk taking and experimentation provide the roots from which the rest of the economy grows. As much courage as it takes to create one's own business, even the entrepreneur needs some help, and this blog will look at news, trends, and practical advice for starting and running a small business.
