Of Note
Hispanics in the United States are opening businesses at a rate that is three times as fast as the national average, according to a report released yesterday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Nationally, there were nearly 1.6 million Hispanic-owned firms, still a small percentage of the 23 million individually owned businesses in the country. But Ying Lowrey, senior economist at the Small Business Administration's advocacy office, said minority-owned firms represent the fastest-growing segment of the nation's economy.

Hispanic immigrants "want to go into their own business as soon as they can leave their day jobs after saving enough money," said Michael Veve, a Washington lawyer who consults with small-business owners who want to do business with the federal government. "They seem to have a very clear perception that they can do better financially in their own businesses."
