Americans Must Get Back to Starting Businesses

Americans need to get back to starting businesses again or the sluggish rate of entrepreneurship in this country will never reverse itself. While Americans remain as positive as ever about entrepreneurship as a concept, fewer want to go into business for themselves. That's translating into record low levels of new business formation. This is a significant problem, since we need folks to launch new ventures to make up for those that fail.
The latest evidence of depressed entrepreneurial activity is the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) 2010 report on the United States, which was released last month. Its main finding: Entrepreneurial activity declined from 2009 to 2010, a year of supposed economic recovery. Many indicators of startup activity are now at record low levels. The per capita rate of employer firm formation in 2009 is less than half its 1977 level and is at the lowest rate since the U.S. Census Bureau first began tracking the creation of new businesses with employees. 
While the recession has exacerbated the decline in business formation, the downward trend began well before the economy turned south. Census figures show that the per capita rate of new employer firm formation has been falling since 2005. GEM data show that early stage entrepreneurial activity-which measures people in the process of starting businesses, plus people who have recently established new companies-has been declining since then as well. 
Since the late 1970s, when data were first gathered, each passing decade has marked lower rates of new business formation. For the most recent decade (2000s), the average annual per capita rate of new employer firm formation was 17 percent lower than it was in the 1980s. Read more.
