Question

Of the approximately 27.3 million small businesses in this country, ____ have no employees.

Answer 1

Approximately 90% of all small businesses have no employees. These would be the businesses run by a single person or a partnership, with no outside help having been hired to help with the duties of the job. This shows that a great percentage of these businesses are one- and two-person endeavors, while the larger small businesses are a distinct minority.
