Those are interesting stats which certainly show where the opportunities lie for 
consultant/developers such as ourselves.

78% of "firms" have no employees.  Presumably, these are either accounting entities or 
people like ourselves.

Of those who have employees ( i.e. real world "businesses":
72% have less than 20 employees
98% have less then 100 employees.
