Sorry guys & gals for the somewhat misleading title. I am not connecting entrepreneurship and expenditure patterns. However, I am providing a link to a report called the Monthly Labor Review which contains several reports (including one on entrepreneurship and one on expenditure patterns).
The pdf is lengthy, but it contains several reports (I am paraphrasing BLS’ descriptions of each report below):
- The births and deaths of business establishments in the United States- Basically a report that discusses the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) attempt to better measure business start-ups and failures (as an indication of entrepreneurship). The bonus is that they provide lots of statistics on this topic.
- Expenditure patterns of young single adults: two recent generations compared- A report comparing the spending habits of “young, never-married adults in 2004-05 and their counterparts in 1984-85.”
- Business Processes and Business Functions: a new way of looking at employment- BLS created a new classification system and combined it with their Mass Layoff Statistics to gain a new perspective on employment.
- Service-providing occupations, offshoring, and the labor market- An analysis of service-providing occupations’ susceptbility to offshoring.
The Monthy Labor Report is produced by the U.S. Department of Labor: Bureau of Labor Statistics. I am linking you to the December 2008 report.
