Businesses with fewer than 50 employees added 3.1 million jobs to the economy last year, and these employers are expected to account for a larger share of job growth in 2015 than at any other time since before the recession. Small businesses likely will represent more than half of all payroll gains for the year, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, and have so far added 111,000 jobs this year, even as larger companies begin to experience slower growth.
