Yay startups!
The Kauffman Foundation reported today that startup companies drive employment growth while established companies eliminate more jobs than they create. "On average and for all but seven years between 1977 and 2005, existing firms are net job destroyers, losing 1 million jobs net combined per year. By contrast, in their first year, new firms add an average of 3 million jobs," the study reports.
The Importance of Startups in Job Creation and Job Destruction, bases its findings on the Business Dynamics Statistics, a U.S. government dataset compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau. The BDS series tracks the annual number of new businesses (startups and new locations) from 1977 to 2005, and defines startups as firms younger than one year old, Kauffman said. I
It makes intuitive sense that new firms add jobs -- after all they are starting from zero -- and existing firms, which Kauffman defines as older than one year, lose jobs over time through the natural business lifecycle. The importance of Kauffman's study may be for policymakers, who "should appreciate the astoundingly large effect of job creation in the first year of a firm's life...Effective policy to promote employment growth must include a central consideration for startup firms."
What do you think policymakers should do to enhance the environment for startups? Leave a comment.
The answer is to reduce taxes.
No matter what you do, problems will always be there. Even if you reduce taxes.
We must also have good leaders too.
Its a good way to know others opinion through the comments. I like watching this type of posts.

It’s just the way it is. Something gets created, something gets lost. I hope this start up firms can keep it up.
Startup firms can keep the way it is , but the way forward is add quality to jobs they create. The entire secnerio is earth exploiting where there is no replay, only buyig time is possible. Those 25 years are Evil Time and pinacle is that financial junk power-seated illutionists policitians and beauracrates kept aside the conciouse and short product cycle created. Now the economy itself is junk without organic last longing goods. These startup in future for existence and survivel must add quality by way of green goods in place of plastics or synthetics. Inwardly talent and genius digging than outward earth digging.
Creative and conciouse genius it takes.Have passion and patience this time is good days are going frugal,organic and austre living . More and more are going to be conciouse souls. Build quality wholistic way not half hearted way. Produce goods that lasts long and endlessway reapirable till its death . Exploit fresh diamentions of nature.Search for it it may dark out there it is avialble, with which survivel assured for genius ones and existence assured for crative ones. It is the legacy of the Good Time. All evil ended for ending for small scale industries all over the world
