Latinos and Seniors Lead in U.S. Entrepreneurship

According to the recent Kauffman Index of Entrepreneurial Activity, the Latino share of all new entrepreneurs rose from 10.5 percent in 1996 to 19.5 percent in 2012 and entrepreneurship for Americans over the age of 55 grew from 14.3% in 1996 to 23.4% in 2012.

Highlights from the report are displayed in the infographic below, which shows that even though entrepreneurial activity declined slightly in 2012 – due in large part to a recovering job market – there are still more than 500,000 Americans starting a new business every month.
