It seems no matter what is being counted, Providence always ranks around 30-31-32-33. I guess it's good to be consistent. I'm surprised there are 90K+ small businesses in the city, there's only 180K+ people. Maybe I should start a small business.

Actually that 90k figure is for the entire metro.

It's still surprising. What are these people doing? What are these businesses? There's a lot of "spas" around here.

^Its just for locally owned small businesses for each metro area btw i didnt do all metros so some of the rankings may not be correct but i tried to do most of the main cities that i could think of...
