CBO TESTIMONY, Statement of Douglas Holtz-Eakin, Director, How Reserve Call-Ups Affect Civilian Employers, before the Subcommittee on Regulatory Reform and Oversight Committee on Small Business, U.S. House of Representatives September 29, 2005

Small businesses (generally those with fewer than 100 employees) employ about 18 percent of all reservists who hold civilian jobs; businesses with fewer than 500 employees and self-employed reservists employ about 35 percent. But there are no precise data on the number of reservists who are key employees or who have highly specialized skills. On the basis of survey information about reservists’ civilian occupations, CBO estimates that out of the 860,000 reservists in the Selected Reserves (the primary source of reserve personnel), between 8,000 and 30,000 of them probably hold key positions in small businesses. In addition, about 55,000 reservists are self-employed. Considering that snapshot of reservists’ employment, CBO expects that as many as 30,000 small businesses (0.6 percent of all such 3 firms) and 55,000 self-employed individuals (less than 0.5 percent of the self-employed) may be more severely affected than other reservist employers if their reservist employee or owner is activated.
