Paychex Infographics: Portraits of a Startup Business and Owner

Paychex, Inc., a leading provider of payroll, human resource, insurance and benefits outsourcing solutions for small- to medium-sized businesses, today released two infographics offering a snapshot of startup businesses and startup owners in America.

“We’ve seen steady growth in small business employment, and in April our monthly jobs index rose to its highest point since we started tracking the index in 2004,” said Martin Mucci, president and CEO of Paychex. “Startup business owners are feeling these same positive trends, with the majority of them expecting to hire in 2014, feeling optimistic about their company’s outlook, and running profitable businesses.”

The infographics were released in honor of National Small Business Week. Celebrated May 12 – 16, 2014, National Small Business Week is an annual weeklong event designed to recognize the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners.

The Portraits of a Startup Business and Startup Owner infographics are available for download and embedding.
