WHY SMALL BUSINESS ARTICLES
Job security doesn't exist anymore. Companies are bought out and restructured, downsized, or moved overseas. And when that doesn't
solve their financial problems, they simply go out of business. Some companies have even sunk to the all-time low of trying to
re-coop bonuses paid to employees the year before their announcement to cut back was made, or they fire employees and keep all
retirement benefits, pensions, etc.
And if that isn't bad enough, the high cost of living in the United States coupled with the rise of inflation has caused many
two-income families to seek yet another job just to make ends meet. But with so many hours away from home, American children
are suffering.
Small and home businesses allow parents to build businesses around their full-time careers and family responsibilities. In fact, with
hard work and perseverance, parents can often quit those second jobs within a year and their full-time careers within five years. And
the issue of job security falls into the hands of the parents themselves.
