The Recession's Effect on Entrepreneurship

How has the recession affected entrepreneurship? So far, it’s helped to drive it up. That’s according to a new study from the Kauffman Foundation, a Kansas City-based organization. The study, out Thursday, found that an average of 320 out of 100,000 adults created a new business each month last year even as the recession took hold, up from 300 out of 100,000 adults in 2007.
