The economic condition of small businesses in the United States is captured in the latest edition of the  Small Business Profiles for the States and Territories. This annual publication from the Office of Advocacy provides information on the demographics of business ownership, employment, industry composition, and small business income, for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The publication provides available limited data on the U.S. territories.

The value of this publication is the detail it provides about small businesses at the state level.  An Excel spreadsheet containing all of the data in the profiles is also available. The state and territory profiles are in Adobe PDF format.
