Entrepreneurship plays a vital role in the growth of the U.S. economy. As the primary source for information on the nation’s labor market, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) collects data on new businesses and job creation. The following data highlights are produced by BLS Business Employment Dynamics (BED) program and provide insight on the contribution of young and small businesses to the overall number of businesses and jobs in the economy.

New business establishments make an important contribution to the economy; however, it is inevitable that some of these establishments will eventually fail.

The health care and social assistance industry, for example, consistently ranks among the industries with the highest survival rates over time, while construction ranks among the lowest.
