Despite accounting for only about 13% of the population, immigrants now start more than a quarter of new businesses in this country. Fast-growing ones, too--more than 20% of the 2014 Inc. 500 CEOs are immigrants. Immigrant-owned businesses pay an estimated $126 billion in wages per year, employing 1 in 10 Americans who work for private companies. In 2010, immigrant-owned businesses generated more than $775 billion in sales. If immigrant America were a stock, youd be an idiot not to buy it. inc/magazine/201502/adam-bluestein/the-most-entrepreneurial-group-in-america-wasnt-born-in-america.html?cid=sf01002
