Veterans Small Business Week (November 4-8, 2019)

By Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA)

Veterans have a big impact on the American economy.

There are 2.5 million veteran-owned business in the United States that account for more than $1.1 trillion in revenue.

In Iowa, there are 26,119 veteran owned businesses that employ 51,801 people and bring in $10.9 million.

Iowa is working hard to attract veterans and help them start and expand their businesses.

I honor these hard working entrepreneurs who have served our country by joining my colleagues in recognizing the week of November 4 as ‘‘National Veterans Small Business Week.”
