DATA

Minority businesses don’t exist in a vacuum.

​

• Retailers, professional & service firms generate business by serving their local communities. More jobs lead to more spending with local businesses.

​

• Small & medium-sized businesses also grow when they contract with other businesses. More local businesses, large and small, lead to more opportunities in this regard.

​

• Philadelphia’s slow growth and low density of businesses restricts growth of Philadelphia’s minority owned businesses.
