Entrepreneurs are Americas job creators. According to the Small Business Administration, from 2003 to 2004 companies with less than 20 employees created roughly 1.6 million net new jobs. Companies with 20 to 499 employees created around 275,000 net new jobs.
The University of Michigan and Florida International University study entrepreneurial activity in America. The metric they use is the number of people who start new businesses or manage firms less than four years old. In 2005, they reported that 23 million people were in this category. Some of the demographics of this group are interesting:
18- to 34-year-olds account for about 44 percent of new firm creations.
57 percent of those starting a new business have high school education.
Only 23 percent have finished college.
Entrepreneurs are the risk-takers in America who know that they are bucking long odds in pursuing their dream.
The entrepreneur is the embodiment of the American spirit and validation of the American dream.
