occurring at your state or local level. Small business owners want to do
the best they can for their workers, but often cost limits how generous
they can be when it comes to pay and benefits. Nonetheless the law may

We get it: the idea of exporting can be intimidating. From language and
cultural differences to finance and technical concerns, going global is a
challenge. However, it also can be extremely rewarding and profitable.
In fact, small businesses engaged in exporting on average stay in
business longer, grow sales faster, and support more jobs than their
non-exporting counterparts. One out of every five American jobs is tied
to exports. These export-related jobs typically pay up to 18 percent
more than non-export related jobs.
