Manitoba's small business sector accounts for about 97 percent of companies and drives job creation with 70 to 80 percent of new roles in firms under 50 employees. In 1986 Manitoba registered 9,899 new businesses, a record and 5.5 percent above 1985, while bankruptcies fell 15 percent in 1986 and unemployment remained among Canada's lowest. Projections show GP growth near six percent and employment up about two percent, supported by growth in service retail and small manufacturing.
