Good news for Tennessee... According to Paychex.com, the State of Tennessee leads the nation in employment by small businesses.
Rutherford County Property Assessor Rob Mitchell told WGNS that our county has over 13,000 reporting small businesses. Mitchell wrote in an email, "They are a valuable part of our community. Small businesses are what give our community "character". Our local Chamber of Commerce provides a wonderful service by assisting and promoting their growth and success."
Again, Tennessee ranks number one on the list for small business employment. The second place ranking from Paychex goes to Indiana.
