by 卡塔尔世界杯常规比赛时间 research
if there’s ever any massive curtailment of immigration into the united states, cpa firms in states along ocean coasts and in major metro markets may be the most vulnerable to losing prospective clients and future job candidates.
a new study of demographic trends nationwide finds that immigrants play an especially key role in economic growth on both coasts with california, new jersey, florida, new york and hawaii, ranking as the states with highest percentages of jobs created by immigrant-owned businesses.
the study, conducted by the personal finance advisory web site wallethub , further finds that california, new jersey, new york, delaware and massachusetts are where foreign-born people hold the greatest percentages of jobs in the fast growth technology science, technology and engineering fields.
meanwhile, new jersey, along with the district of columbia and its neighbors virginia and maryland, are where households headed by immigrants have the highest incomes.

granted, that number isn’t as high as 2016’s, when 61% reported improvements over 2015, but 2015 was the infamous annus horribilis, the year of tax prep hell. it wasn’t hard to imagine the next year being better. so 2016 wasn’t so bad, making it surprising that so many see 2017 turning out even better. three upbeat respondents typify the three main causes of optimism.

three new reports on entrepreneurship from the u.s. small business administration offer insights that may be of interest to cpa practices. each report looks at one of three groups that are in the news every day: millennials, seniors, and immigrants.
it may surprise many that the educated, tech-savvy millennials are increasingly less likely to start their own businesses.
