| Entrepreneurship, an important
feature of economic growth and adaptation, is a
major activity in the United States. About 18 million
in the U.S. were actively engaged in starting or
managing a new firm in 2004. The U.S. continues
to be a major-but not the largest-source of global
entrepreneurial activity. The importance of new
firm creation to the future of the U.S. economy
has led to a program of annual assessment of U.S.
entrepreneurship. The U.S. Entrepreneurial Assessment
project is the only source of longitudinal data
that is based directly on individual reports of
entrepreneurial activity; the procedures are consistent
over time and harmonized with those implemented
in 43 other countries. Read more by downloading
