2015 State of Entrepreneurship Address | Kauffman.org

At the Kauffman Foundation's sixth annual State of Entrepreneurship Address at the National Press Club in Washington, Acting President and CEO Wendy Guillies called for economic renewal through a new entrepreneurial boom, beginning with two of the biggest demographic forces shaping the U.S. economy: the aging of baby boomers and the emergence of millennials into the workforce.

None of the above.
Simply put, even the courageous risk takers are scared of the current business environment.
1. A vocal set of people in power constantly talking about higher tax rates that creates a lower reward to risk ratio.
2. An unstable regulatory platform that continually adds expense to domestic business's with dubious overall benefit to the nation.
3. Uncertain wage and benefit costs that negatively effect risk decisions.
