Find your local Chamber of Commerce

Whether traveling or relocating, Chambers are powerful resources for community information. Scanning the membership directory of your local chamber of commerce via the Internet or at your local public library is one way to get to small businesses, which tend to lead the curve on hiring following a recession. Additionally, because they are more nimble, small companies are faster to ramp up or down.

So, why not find your local Chamber of Commerce? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce: Chamber Member Directory Search Page has a map of all 50 US states and links to International Chambers of Commerce.
