It's quite significant actually, if you visualize it correctly.
This article doesn't say there are 33,000 businesses making $1M a year (or you're right that's pretty small).
It says there are 33,000 businesses making a $1m a year that have only 1 full time employee. That's big.
Is it a commentary on the gig economy making 33,000 millionaires out of traditional business sectors? I'm not saying that's true, but something is shifting and it's big.
