ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN AMERICAENTREPRENEURSHIP IN AMERICA
"Today roughly 45 million Americans, about 30 percent of the labor force, run their own business. Sometime during their careers, well over half of university graduates will start a business. Most Americans today work in firms that have entrepreneurial teams in charge. And most U.S. job growth and new technology comes from entrepreneurial companies... America is unique in the world, a nation rebuilding itself on the principle of entrepreneurial capitalism.“
Source: Newsweek 13 Nov 2006
The article went on to say that entrepreneurship is "America's unmatched advantage" and an "indispensable component" of growth and prosperity.
