The face of entrepreneurship in America has changed over the last decade, especially as it recovers from a downward trend that began in 2010. Specifically, the educational profile of entrepreneurs has changed. More entrepreneurs have college degrees than in 1997, and entrepreneurs with college degrees now make up the largest group of entrepreneurs in terms of level of education.
Immigrants have also become more likely to pursue entrepreneurship, with a rate that has more than doubled since 1997. Racial diversity among entrepreneurs has also significantly increased, with people of color making up more than 40 percent of new entrepreneurs. These changes make it an exciting time to be an entrepreneur.
