ACTC employee levels - well let's take a look at the facts.

There are almost 28 million small businesses in the US and over 22 million are self employed with no additional payroll or employees (refer sources listed below).

If 40 employees is 1/6th of average, as claimed by the person I am responding to... that would mean the average small business size is 240 employees.

Facts are that over 75% of small businesses in US have no employees other than the business owner him/herself, so the claim that ACTC's 40 employees is "about 1/6th the employees of the average small business in America" is clearly false.
