Shrinking in a Bad Economy: Americas Entrepreneur Class by John Bussey - Article Example

Job growth in a country often is an important indicator of a country’s economic health. Lastly, I learned that entrepreneurs who are involved with technology tend to be more successful than entrepreneurs involved in more traditional areas(Bussey). This is probably because technology is a huge market right now, and there is a greater need for this type of business than for others.  My opinion of this article is that it is very frightening in terms of the United States’ economic recovery.

A large part of the economy in this country depends on these small businesses, and if these businesses are failing, for the most part, it is likely that it will take even longer for the economy to recover, if ever. Also, the failure of these businesses is frightening because they are responsible for many of the jobs in the country, and if they are not hiring, more people will be out of work, which could cause more poverty and homelessness. I think that the United States needs to do everything it can to help small business owners if they really want the country to get back on track.
