The article talks about a rise and expansion in the “gig economy” which is a small business. if small business payrolls have declined over the past three decades yet solo engagements have risen, that is a shift or transfer; not a decline. Small businesses are not disappearing.Well, it depends what you mean by "more opportunity"
In the US large companies are making it harder and harder to be an independent business person. Small businesses are disappearing.
Why is Small Business in America Dying?
A lot of people are saying small business is dying in America. An article on Brookings charted data from the U.S. census of the bureau, which tells us: 1978 had a ~14% firm entrance rate and a ~11% firm exit rate 2011 had an ~8% firm entrance rate and a ~9.5% firm exit rate In […]thecapitalist.com
"In short, the U.S. is now losing more businesses than its creating. This trend developed slowly over three to four decades."
Why?
"Big companies are taking up the market"
Simply said, large companies are bribing the government to give them preferential treatment, this is making them uber competitive and small businesses are suffering.
Companies like Walmart, Starbucks, Amazon are literally KILLING small businesses.
And these large business literally control government.
if US income inequality were so bad, you would see a rapid decline in the US as the top destination for immigrants. Immigrants come here because this nation offers the best opportunity. Income inequality “exposure” is a tactic by anti-capitalists to stimulate class warfare to shift to the false promises of alternative economies.
