The American Jobs Act – Helping Small Businesses Grow And Hire
“Everyone here knows that small businesses are where most new jobs begin.
And you know that while corporate profits have come roaring back,
smaller companies haven’t. So for everyone who speaks so passionately
about making life easier for “job creators,” this plan is for you.”
– President Barack Obama, 9/8/11
Helping small businesses grow and hire is at the core of the American Jobs Act that the
President announced. Entrepreneurs and small business owners – America’s biggest job
creators – are looking to Congress to enact these powerful, bipartisan, specific, paid-for
proposals as quickly as possible.
The American Jobs Act will help small businesses continue doing what they do best: create
good jobs, drive competitiveness and innovation, and strengthen economic security for the
middle class. The time to act is now. American Jobs Act provisions to help entrepreneurs and
small business owners include:
•        Cutting in half the payroll taxes (to 3.1%) for small businesses for the first $5 million in
wages, targeting the benefit to the 98% of firms that have payroll below this level
•        Temporarily eliminating employer payroll taxes for small businesses that create jobs or
give raises for existing workers above the prior year
•        Extending an immediate 100% expensing write-off into 2012 to encourage even more
businesses to invest in more machinery and equipment
•        Large tax credits (up to $4,000) for businesses that hire workers who’ve been unemployed
for 6 months, with bigger credits for hiring unemployed veterans (Returning Heroes Tax Credit
up to $5,600) and service-disabled veterans (Wounded Warriors Tax Credit up to $9,600)
•        Powerful investments in schools, roads, rail, and airports while helping small business
contractors compete for infrastructure contracts and get surety bonds up to $5 million
•        Making it easier for States to allow unemployed workers to create their own jobs by starting
their own businesses
In addition, the Administration is moving forward with ideas that don’t need Congressional
action, including:
•        Paying small contractors more quickly for the innovative products and services they provide
to the federal government
•        Cutting the red tape that prevents fast-growing startups from getting the capital they need
through new financing approaches like crowdfunding

October is breast cancer awareness month! It is during this month, that CHER would like to
encourage all women over 40 to get a preventative screening mammogram. Mammograms can
detect breast cancer earlier so that it can be treated before it becomes more aggressive. Can't
afford a mammogram? Contact
Spokane Regional Health District's Breast, Cervical and Colon
Health Program to see if you qualify for a free screening. Interested in breast cancer? Learn what
you can do to prevent breast cancer!
