Create Jobs for Christmas I t’s better to give than to receive, says the timeless adage. By shopping locally for Christmas, you can keep this holiday spirit alive. You may have more of an impact on your community’s economy than you realize. A recent study by the Small Business Administration, United States Department of Labor and other major orga- nizations found that small businesses have employed about 77 million Americans and accounted for 65 percent of all new jobs over nearly the past two decades. Those numbers only look to increase as entrepreneurship and small business accelera- tors continue to work togeth- er on new business ideas. But that kind of job growth is only sustainable if custom- ers support it. That’s where you come in. TURN PART-TIME INTO FULL-TIME We’ve all seen the advertise- ments for extra employment opportunities during the holi- day season. Businesses usual- ly bring on board a large con- tingent of part-time workers to help them meet the demands of the holiday shop- ping season — the busiest time for retailers and restau- rants both big and small. Spending your dollars locally means you’re giving small business owners a great boost going into the New Year. If revenues are high enough, this can even allow them to retain part-time helpers and turn them into © FOTOLIA full-time employees after the holidays. Talk about giving a gift. You could be helping keep your friends and neighbors employed during the holiday season and beyond. COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP Many local small business owners also are community leaders, serving in elected posi- tions over our community boards, city halls and educa- tional institutions. By shopping locally, you are keeping the spirit of civic activ- ism alive through your invest- ment into the success of your local difference-makers. And as long as community leaders are invested in the peo- ple around them, more work can be done together to start new businesses and employ- ment opportunities throughout your area. ‘Green’ Impacts M ore cash in your pocket and less trash in the environment: Shopping locally just makes sense across the board. If you’re looking for ways to achieve both of these objec- tives this holiday season, start by supporting your local busi- ness owners. They’re waiting for you with open arms, ready to help you reach your holiday shopping goals. And they’ve got the deals to prove it. SAVE CASH ‘Tis the season to be jolly, not broke! When you embark on a cross-state shopping spree to visit far-away stores, you might as well say goodbye to saving any of your holiday cash. There’s the gas for travel, the expensive dining for mul- tiple meals and the hotel if you plan on staying some- where overnight. Compare that experience to finding great local deals in your downtown establish- ments, eating an affordable meal in your favorite local pizza paror and heading home to wrap your gifts. It’s easy to see which option is both less expensive and less stressful. ence for your neighbors, Shopping locally isn’t just friends and family members. about saving cash, but also about making it stretch fur- ther for those around you.

This is a double benefit that results in cleaner air and eased traffic congestion. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, trucks and locomo- tives are responsible for 25 per- cent of smog-causing pollution and the majority of the cancer threat posed by air pollution in some areas. Local businesses can help the environment in two ways: by using local produce, food and products, and by using less packaging than larger chain stores. This helps keep your local community more sustainable and keep more unnecessary plastics out of landfills. Shopping locally equals green and clean.
