A Canadian Federation of Independent Business study shows 1970 to 1976 growth in jobs came from Canadian controlled manufacturing firms, especially those with 100 to 199 employees, while U S controlled firms and other foreign entities shed workers.

The piece argues for policy focus on smaller firms as the key to future employment.
