#BAW 2015 Fact
Did you know entrepreneurship is at an all-time high? A recent online article (www.inc.com Entrepreneurship in the U.S. Reaches Record High, 2nd September 2015) reported findings from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) that 27 million Americans have their own business in 2015. The study also found that a growing number of people in America consider entrepreneurship as an attractive career option. 51% of the working population believes that starting a business reveals excellent opportunities not found through employment and 80% of those who plan to start a business in the next 3 years are actually planning on doing it.
