Big business leading hiring is entirely consistent with Government expanding its role in the economy as this disproportionately favors large over small businesses due to:

1) Easier access to Government contracts - eg. purchase criteria, bidding process and conditions etc.;
2) Economies of scale - eg. National coverage, ability to supply large volumes; 
3) Political influence - eg. Lobbying, connections, ability to ‘massage’ purchase criteria, influence and access incentives; 
4) Compliance and regulation - eg. Satisfy all DEI, environmental and other requirements and better navigate hurdles;
5) Access stimulus and incentive packages - teams of people focused on this and a history of proven usage;
6) Crowding out - eg. Better access to more and cheaper funding.
