What is the biggest reason for that?
What’s the right side un8t supposed to be? Companies created?
Is this global, US-only, or other?
Oligarchs can’t oligarch if there is competition.
I see some industries like the energy sector is booming like never before. Interest rates are going down. Money should be around
We might overlook an additionally factor: There are a few percentage of the working population that got sick and never fully recovered.
I used to thrive before the pandemic and helped to build up startups.
But the last 5 years I spent all my energy to stay on my job and research on how to get out of this hell called Long Covid.
Look at numbers of disabilities. It’s rising everywhere – and it’s hitting the working population the most.
Granted, what is doesn’t show is how much new jobs are available in existing companies
Nice, BUT… while the analysis provides a strong starting point, I can only treat it as a high-level hypothesis, not a proper diagnosis. The analysis hinges on a single metric which alone does not tell the full story.
It doesn’t account for things like survival rate (how many of the companies in the 2020 “boom” failed within a year?), scale of the new ventures (did the boom consist of many small, poorly funded businesses? the “slide” in other industries masks the formation of fewer, but larger and better-capitalized, new entrants?)
And then, what about variations between North America, Europe, and Asia?
Indeed a cool idea that could advance in many much neater directions
