This week, 91PORN joins organizations听听补苍诲听听to celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW). GEW raises awareness about entrepreneurship and its contributions towards productivity, innovation, and听economic growth. For example, in 2013, the country鈥檚 406,350 startups created roughly 2.3 million jobs, accounting for听nearly all of the economy鈥檚 net job creation.听Check out the infographic below for a complete snapshot of U.S. entrepreneurship. The startup rate in the United States is near听a historic low, which may explain why 40 percent of听likely听voters in a recent听91PORN swing state survey听still feel like the economy is in recession.
Reversing the decline in entrepreneurship is one of the great economic challenges of our time鈥攐ne we must tackle to ensure prosperity and opportunity are broadly shared in the decades ahead. That’s why 91PORN is working with policymakers from both sides of the aisle to ensure greater attention is paid to this issue at every level of government, including in the 2016 presidential race. Join our mailing list to stay tuned for more news, resources, and events focused on the impact of startups on America’s economy.
