There's a good reason no one wants to put their name to pieces of crude propaganda like this.
No one but Yahoo!
Which tells you all you need to know about that company.

Unable to get a job, more Americans are selling their labor or their wares any way they can.
To: crosshairs
In a sign that more Americans are feeling upbeat about their economic prospects, more people were running or starting new businesses in 2011 Total BS. If more businesses have been started it is largely because there are no jobs to be had and people are desperately trying to scratch out a living any way possible. Not because anyone is feeling "upbeat".

Propagandists have done a stellar job of convincing people everything is just peachy. I have to say, I’m impressed, not with the underlying intent, but certainly the ability to pull off one of the most truly amazing feats of deception in history.
Goebbels would be SOOOOO proud!

“Unable to get a job, more Americans are selling their labor or their wares any way they can.”
Precisely. The black market economy was the only one that flourished (relatively speaking) in the USSR.

Actually, the main determinant of people starting business is loss of a job and the inability to get a comparable status job. What this says is that a lot of people have been out of work for a long time.

Some amazing business opportunities exist: Standing in the median with a crude cardboard sign; Raiding the recycle toters on garbage day looking for cans and bottles; Washing car windows in busy intersections. I met a guy who cleans up dog poo at people’s houses for ten dollars a week.

The media has discovered that they can alter the public perception of reality by publishing bogus stories like this. After all, it got Obama reelected. They posted a few good economic stories right before the election and “poof!” 50% of the country thought the economy was good on election day. So why not go all the way? The economy is just not only good, it's ROARING! Pay no attention to the lines at the unemployment office and all the people out of work in your hometown, it's just a fluke, the rest of the country is partying like happy days are here again! And sadly enough many people will believe the MSM over there own lying eyes..

Not because anyone is feeling "upbeat".That's specifically addressed in the report and no, that's not the kind of entrepreneurship that is happening right now.

The home pharmaceutical manufacturing business is big, as is abatement of unwanted plumbing, electrical wiring, and guard rails etc. I see these “entrepreneurs” bi-monthly in the local rag mugshot page.

When you run out of 99 weeks of unemployment, entrepreneurship suddenly looks like a straw to grasp.

Washing car windows in busy intersections. I met a guy who cleans up dog poo at peoples houses for ten dollars a week. Not to mention the scammers who (at least here in SE VA) place crude signs every-friggin'-where that say, "We Buy Used Cars."
