As more and more Americans find jobs, it's having a chilling effect on potential new entrepreneurs, according to a new industry report.
Last year, 476,000 new businesses were created each month, mostly in the construction and services industries, according to the Kauffman Index of entrepreneurial activity.

Oh I know the solution, amnesty........
Last year, 476,000 new businesses were created each month, mostly in the construction and services industries,
I’d like to see a breakdown by state and county of this number please.
5.7 million new businesses/companies? Last year?
Biggest whopper of the decade!!!!!
With economists predicting a crash worse than 2008 in next two years, there will be a backlash of job loss in the very industries they say are creating jobs.
When you lie, you should lie as big as possible.
Using Obama MythMath...they are counting Avon Ladies, Tupperware reps, kids w/Lemonade stands (oh my bad...the later are illegal if not permitted and health dept inspected).
It seems logical to me. There are a finite number of people.
As the people either get jobs from others or make jobs themselves, the number of people without jobs declines.
Since most are not able or willing to take the leap into business it stands to reason that the gross number of people starting new businesses will not continue to grow at the rate when unemployment was at peak numbers. My thought is the numbers are substantial, especially among older men and students
Un mentioned are the number of people in service businesses that deal in cash and are off the grid.
They would have to include every corner drug dealer for those numbers to be true; it is an outlandish claim.
I wonder how many businesses went under during the same time period..

“New Business” = I stuck a sign on my truck.
JOBS ARE BAD FOR THE ECONOMY, screams the Propaganda Ministry. UNEMPLOYMENT IS BETTER.
Amen......
Big thick wallet and dashboard for my files and a cell phone to generate sales
Wha..? Liberals don’t need to prove stuff, they just need to say stuff. It’s up to us to prove or disprove their statements. Of course, by the time we get to it, a couple million ignorant people have already heard their version from the coordinated liberal media, so the actual truth ends up looking like sour grapes.
Yep! Seen it around here. Bob loses job at the cabinet making plant when it closed so he starts doing odd jobs like fixing clogged rain gutters and leaky faucets.
And the Obummer Admin. counts it as a new business when its really someone scraping to keep the bills paid because the Obama Economy imploded causing the demand in building trades to drop like a rock and cabinet sales cratered...
Or even musical chairs between businesses. Somehow the count should follow the people, not the businesses.
Not familiar with the other fields, but during slow periods in construction every laid-off guy starts doing pick-up jobs as he can, which is a kind of "new business." Some of these will stay "in business" after construction picks up, but most will go back to work for somebody else
Personally, I think those of us who are self-employed ought to get a tax break for leaving job open for someone else.
Just kidding. Actually, there should be no tax breaks because there should be no income tax.
