We now know more about American entrepreneurs than ever before, thanks to a major public-private partnership among the U.S. Census Bureau, the Kauffman Foundation and the Minority Business Development Agency. The Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs will supplement the Survey of Business Owners (SBO), conducted every five years.
The Annual Survey of Entrepreneurs provides a timely, more frequent socio-economic portrait of the nation’s employer businesses by gender, ethnicity, race and veteran status. It includes a relevant topic not found in the SBO: the number of years a firm has been in business. It also includes extensive geographical coverage, with data at the national level, all fifty states, and the fifty largest metropolitan areas in the country.
