“…The majority of Latino small-firm owners are immigrants, and their annual share of nationwide start-ups rose dramatically from 10.0% in 1996 and 20.8% in 2015 (Table 6). The same broad pattern describes Asian American owners, roughly 80% of whom are immigrants (Fairlie & Robb, 2008;Fairlie et al, 2016).…”

“…In 2015, for example, 3.3 adults per thousand started new firms. Among the native born, the start-up rate was 2.9 per thousand, while among immigrants, it was 5.3 per thousand (Fairlie et al, 2016). Translating these rates into shares of all new business start-ups nationwide indicates that immigrants launched 13.3% of the nation's start-up firms in 1996 and 27.5% of them in 2015.…”

The consensus view that discriminatory barriers limit the size and scope of America’s minority-business community is factually well-grounded. Rarely examined, however, is the question of why these firms are flourishing. The authors examine the scope of this growth and its causes. The process of selectively reducing discriminatory barriers inhibiting minority entrepreneurship’s development began in the 1960s, moved forward in the 1970s, and continues presently. This path-dependent process of lowering barriers has altered the incentive structures, previously making the entrepreneurial choice an unattractive one for most minorities. This, in turn, has drawn into business ownership a younger generation of highly educated and experienced minorities, many of whom have successfully obtained bank loans. Spatially, minority neighborhoods as well have successfully attracted talented, experienced African American and Latino owners and financing for their firms. Those with abundant expertise have driven the substantial gains in numbers of workers employed by minority-owned businesses.
