Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 26 page paper. The writer begins by reporting the value of small businesses in terms of dollars and employment, how the SBA defines a small business with examples, and how size standards are revised.

Even with their disability, many of these people are capable of working and want to do so (EEOC, 2004). The Kiplinger Letter (2007) reported more than 10 million disabled Americans
