Dylan Rosnick, the NFIB Principal of Federal Government Relations, has expressed concerns over labor threats facing small businesses in a recent op-ed published in The Washington Reporter. Rosnick highlights how specific policy proposals in Congress could severely impact Main Street businesses.
Rosnick emphasizes the importance of small businesses to the American economy, stating: "Small businesses employ nearly half this country’s workforce and represent 99.9% of all American businesses. For the American workforce to be successful, small businesses must be successful."
He cites research from the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), which indicates that nearly 25% of small businesses identify "locating qualified employees" and "finding and keeping skilled employees" as critical issues. Additionally, 36% report job openings they cannot fill.
Rosnick warns that certain Congressional proposals pose a direct threat by increasing government involvement in business operations and imposing more labor mandates. He urges lawmakers to reject these measures to prevent additional burdens on small businesses.
