Butts Supports
Many Business
Establishments
(Special to the Progr e; ,. Areui ,
NEW YORK, Oct. 12— Butts
County supports a greater nu m
ber of business
small, medium and large—than
do many communities of it 3 s ; Ze
And they have been showing
sturdy growth, as evidenced bv
the number of people they em .
ploy and by the bigger payrolls
they are carrying.
The findings are from anew
government survey, released by
the Department of Commerce. It
is based upon data compiled bv
the Department of Health, Edu
cation and Welfare from tax re
ports filed by employers for 1967.
Presented, for every county in
the United States, are compar
able figuies on employment and
payrolls for firms engaged in re
tail and wholesale trade, manu
facturing, finance, services and
other fields.
In Butts County, the report
shows, there are some 136 sep
arate businesses that employ one
or more people.
A breakdown of this total re
veals that 78 of them have from
1 to 3 employees each, that there
are 28 with from 4 to 7 and 21
with from 8 to 19. The others are
larger.
The great majority of these
businesses are well established
and of long standing. In addition,
a certain number of new ones
start up each year as well as some
that discontinue for one reason
or another.
The payrolls of these local es
tablishments reached anew peak
in the year of $5,328,000.
This was considerably more
than in 1965, when a survey
placed the total at $3,600,000.
The increase, 48 percent, top
ped the United States rise of 22
percent and that in the State of
Georgia, 28 percent.
The figures cover all persons
gainfully employed in private,
non-farm jobs subject to social
security. The total so-employed in
Eutts County is given as 1,544.
This is exclusive of members
of the armed forces, of domestic
workers, the self-employed and
civilian government personnel.
Business establishments in the
local area with fewer than 20
employees continue to thrive
despite the competition cf big
business, the reports indicate.
As is the case in most com
munities across the country, they
far outnumber the larger ones.
Currently, in the county, they
constitute 93 percent of the total.
Elsewhere throughout the na
tion, by way of comparison, 89
percent of all businesses operate
with less than 20 employees.
