Breaking It Down: Why Small Business is the Heartbeat of NEPA

Join Bob Durkin, President and CEO of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, as he breaks down the staggering numbers behind our local economy. From the fact that 85% of Chamber members have ten employees or fewer to the revelation that $73 of every $100 spent locally stays in the community, this episode explores why small business is truly the heartbeat of the country. We dive into the specific data for Lackawanna and Luzerne counties and discuss how the "multiplier effect" of a thriving downtown creates a better quality of life for everyone in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
