Not if we examine the make-up of the new entrepreneurs.
There are more women, continuing a growth that started several years ago. While males are still more predominant in owning and running small businesses, new business start-ups by women are about equal to those of men.
We are also seeing more minorities. Small businesses have historically been the economic entry point for immigrants and that is more true to day than ever before. Recent census bureau statistics indicates that the population growth of Texas, growing about 1.8 % annually is being fueled, in great measure, by continuing immigration growth. Aiding in the growth of minority business is the fact that venture capital is becoming more available to this growing entrepreneurial segment. A recently released study, "Minorities and Venture Capital" by William Bradford, professor of finance and business economics at the University of Washington in Seattle and Timothy Bates, professor of economics at Michigan’s Wayne State University indicates that minority businesses should be able to access regular financing, because recent data suggests these investments are providing competitive yields with similar investment in other enterprises.

It happens. You get all pumped up to look for a new job, get your resume and cover letter all spruced up and then…nothing. How do you put the excitement back in your job search?Remember Why You’re Job HuntingIt’s easy to forget why you felt it was important to look for a job in the first place.

These middle-aged entrepreneurs may approach small business as an opportunity. But many may not be prepared to work as hard and as long as the younger entrepreneur, who starts from a much different workplace experience. The aging entrepreneur may also be more service orientated trying to utilize his years of experience to help others, but often with only limited success.
Additionally, a much larger growth is taking place in the service areas and high tech areas. Once a smaller segment, service industries are now the fastest growing segment, outdistancing the retail sector. The smaller manufacturing segment continues but is no longer growing.
