Entrepreneurship in America has had a rocky road in
the last decade. According to the 2015 Kauffman
Index of Startup Activity, the rate of new
entrepreneurs, as well as the amount of startup
activity, suffered a sharp decrease starting in 2010 as
a result of a weak economy. More recently, however,
the trend has begun to climb again.

3. 2015 Kauffman Index
 Significant demographics have been left behind over the
course of this change, with the amount of entrepreneurship
among women staying relatively stagnant since the economic
downturn and the percentage of entrepreneurs with military
service history significantly decreasing over the last two
decades.
Despite these drops, minorities--classified as African
American, Asian, Latino, and other non-white
businesspersons--accounted for 40 percent of
entrepreneurship activity documented in the 2015 index. The
index also found that more than 28 percent of new
entrepreneurs were non-native residents who had immigrated
to the United States.
