Steve Buser's List: Economy

In terms of similarities
with the literature on small businesses in developing economies, it is true that most small
businesses in the U.S. do not grow. However, the reason that small business seem to exist and
the nature of the small business owners seem quite different. In the U.S., many of the small
business owners are highly skilled (lawyers, doctors, dentists, etc.). It is a well established fact
that there is little relationship between formal years of schooling and the propensity for either
small business entry or survival.35 Additionally, as we have shown above, very few of the small
business owners in the U.S. (less than 4 percent) report starting a business because of a lack of employment options. In other words, it does not appear that the U.S. small business owners are "reluctant entrepreneurs".

Hispanic Population Growth
More than half of the growth in the total U.S. population between 2000 and 2010 was because of the increase in the Hispanic population. Between 2000 and 2010, the Hispanic population grew by 43 percent, rising from 35.3 million in 2000 to 50.5 million in 2010. The rise in the Hispanic population accounted for more than half of the 27.3 million increase in the total U.S. population. By 2010, Hispanics comprised 16 percent of the total U.S. population of 308.7 million.
The non-Hispanic population grew relatively slower over the decade at about 5 percent. Within the non-Hispanic population, the number of people who reported their race as white alone grew even slower (1 percent). While the non-Hispanic white alone population increased numerically from 194.6 million to 196.8 million over the 10-year period, its proportion of the total population declined from 69 percent to 64 percent.
