As I’ve voiced before, small businesses are critical to our economy. On LinkedIn, over 12 million of you own or work at a small business. That’s why we’ve teamed up with the White House to make sure your voice is heard.
Today in his weekly address, President Barack Obama focused on health care for small businesses and announced that the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) just released a report on The Economic Impact of Health Insurance on Small Businesses and their Employees. The report highlights the essential role of small businesses in our economy and calls for health care reform to reduce the burdens that the current system place on them.

Jeff Weiner has updated his profile from President to CEO of LinkedIn.
Six months ago, Jeff started at LinkedIn running our day-to-day operations as President of the company. During that time we’ve achieved record operating and financial results. Prior to LinkedIn, Jeff was an Executive in Residence at Accel Partners and Greylock Partners. Previously, he spent over seven years in key leadership roles at Yahoo!, managing businesses and products that reached over half a billion consumers worldwide. Jeff’s experience building multiple products on a global scale is highly relevant to LinkedIn and will be critical as we continue to grow the LinkedIn professional network around the world.

From the day we launched, LinkedIn has been about helping professionals build and maintain trusted relationships online. Over the past six years, we’ve seen millions of professionals gravitate towards this concept and members are signing up for LinkedIn in unprecedented numbers.
Today over 37 million professionals on LinkedIn believe that bringing our real-world professional relationships online will help all of us work smarter. While the network grows rapidly, we want to make sure that we preserve the user experience – for every user – by maintaining the integrity of the site. Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that a very small number of users tarnish the experience for some members of our community.
