WASHINGTON DC (November 5, 2019) — Prepared floor remarks by Senator Charles "Chuck" Grassley on Veterans Small Business Week:
Veterans have a big impact on the American economy.
There are 2.5 million veteran-owned business in the United States that account for more than $1.1 trillion in revenue.
In Iowa, there are 26,119 veteran owned businesses that employ 51,801 people and bring in $10.9 million.
Iowa is working hard to attract veterans and help them start and expand their businesses.
I honor these hard-working entrepreneurs who have served our country by joining my colleagues in recognizing the week of November 4 as ‘‘National Veterans Small Business Week.”
