Hank Fishkind September 21 - Florida to Reap Big Benefits From Small Business Aid

September 21, 2010 | WMFE - The Senate's small business assistance bill is on the brink of passage. Among other things, the bill creates a $30 billion dollar fund to encourage lending to small businesses by community banks. Florida's most recent unemployment numbers were released late last week and the jobless rate is still hovering near 12%. 90.7's Tom Parkinson spoke with economic analyst Hank Fishkind about the aid package. He says the help for small business is good news for Florida's unemployed workers because smaller companies generate more jobs than larger firms.
