The Engine of Job Creation is Start-Ups

A must read in 4/3/2010's NY Times is Thomas Friedman's inspired column that discusses the job creation that is so desperately needed in the United States.  Friedman makes two really important points:  1.  Job creation by small businesses and new start-ups have accounted for the overwhelming majority of new jobs in every economic recovery since 1980. 2.  Many of the most entrepreneurial visionaries that would start the businesses that would generate new jobs are international students who have challenges remaining in the U.S. after they complete their studies.  Friedman discusses the impact of current immigration policy and makes a strong case for it's re-examination.  No matter where you stand on the immigration issue, it's a really interesting column and definitely puts the spotlight on the importance of job creation by small businesses if the economy is truly to recover.
