Many of us consider the broader implications of our spending and consumption. Our economy is enhanced with a variety of options, from our Business Roundtable Fortune 200 companies to our neighbors who own and operate small businesses. We urge you to spend with this in mind on Saturday, America's Small Business Saturday.
To find small businesses near you, all you have to do is use this map and grab your wallet! We guarantee there's a place nearby that you didn't know about, or one that you've been meaning to check it out. Small Business Saturday is the day! Create your own custom small business graphics

The launch was an hour later than originally planned, but it still made it in the window! At 6:42 PM EST last Saturday, November 19, 2016, the NOAA/NASA GOES-R Satellite launched from Kennedy Space Center. "The next generation of weather satellites is finally here. GOES-R is one of the most sophisticated Earth-observing platforms ever devised," said NOAA Administrator Kathryn Sullivan, Ph.D.
"GOES-R's instruments will be capable of scanning the planet five times faster and with four times more resolution than any other satellite in our fleet. With these new instruments and powerful new capabilities, GOES-R will strengthen NOAA's ability to issue life-saving forecasts and warnings and make the United States an even stronger, more resilient Weather-Ready Nation."

Business Roundtable members believe in the American economy and the American worker. Our nation has powerful advantages, including a talented and creative workforce, tremendous natural resources and a culture that rewards innovation and entrepreneurship. However, despite progress since the end of the Great Recession, the U.S. economy continues to perform well below expectations. Unemployment is down, but the workforce participation rate is at a 35 year low. The United States needs government policies that help, not hinder, companies to create more, better-paying jobs. U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) is growing too slowly - we need policies that will spur economic growth and vitality. The U.S. economy lacks momentum.
In 2016, Business Roundtable will focus on policies that lead to job creation and economic growth - national priorities that are inextricably linked. Our priorities reflect our collective business experience as CEOs of America's leading companies, experience that tells us what it takes to build momentum for the United States in 2016 and beyond.
