    46% Percent Growth - But Economic Parity Remains

    Between 2002 and 2007, the number of minority firms grew by 46 percent, compared to 18 percent for all U.S. firms, and compared to 13.7 percent growth for the minority population age 18 and older, during the same period. Minority-owned firms employed approximately 5.9 million people in 2007, up from 4.7 million in 2002.
