Entrepreneurship in the U.S. is showing signs of a comeback, with the number of companies being launched up for the second straight year.

That's the finding of the Kauffman Foundation's annual report on startup activity. Kauffman's index tracking startups stands at 0.38 for 2016; the index registered at minus 0.33 in 2015 and minus 0.95 in 2014. Its last positive reading was in 2010, when it stood at 0.08. The figures compare to a baseline of zero when Kauffman began tracking entrepreneurship in 1996.
