I am sure you have seen unemployment as a key political and economic issue. Franchising is playing an important role in economic recovery.
“The franchise industry just might be the job-generating gorilla in the room.” What a great quote to show the power of franchising related to the United States employment recovery. “The number of franchise jobs in the U.S. grew at an annual rate of 2 percent in the last year through May, approximately twice that of overall job market, says Mark Zandi, chief economist at market-research firm Moody’s Analytics. Franchises overall provide 8 million jobs, or six percent of the job base in the U.S., according to Zandi.” This is pretty impressive job growth thanks to franchising.
