One Person Businesses To Swell In United States

One-person businesses with no employees have become an important part of the U.S. economy, and will increase in number over the next decade.

The report foresees a new breed of entrepreneur emerging. Entrepreneurs will no longer come predominantly from the middle of the age spectrum, but instead from the edges. People nearing retirement and their children just entering the job market will become the most entrepreneurial ever.
