We live in tough times.  Money is hard to come by, and opportunities for employment in larger companies are diminishing each year.  Despite widespread government intervention, layoffs continue to mount.  However, we are left with a few good reasons to maintain a positive outlook.  Here is one of them: As long as entrepreneurial people walk this planet, jobs will be created!

The important role entrepreneurs play in job creation

Entrepreneurs are an indispensable catalyst for change in a market economy.  They stimulate and support the efficient use of resources that bring parties together that otherwise would have conflicting interests and preferences.

In a country with a population growth of three million a year, a high degree of entrepreneurship will help to soften the impact of the economic crisis.  As older, larger companies continue to reduce their workforces, young entrepreneurial start-ups are creating new jobs and new advancement opportunities.

Throughout the country, these entrepreneur-led small emerging businesses are hiring and training a new workforce to help them bring forth innovative products and services.  Of the three million jobs that are created in the United States each year, almost all of them were created by small entrepreneurial businesses!  This year-in, year-out job creation is the reason why entrepreneurs are such an important agent for economic growth.
