Business startups in Atlanta decline, but still 2nd in nation *| ajc.com


Atlanta ranked second among top metro areas last year in the creation of new businesses, although the rate fell from 2010, according to a new study by a group promoting entrepreneurship. Each month, an average of 500 out of every 100,000 adults aged 20 to 64 started a business that they spent at least 15 hours on, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation found. Only Los Angeles had a higher rate.


Metro Atlanta also was second in 2010, when 580 out of 100,000 adults started a business, the study said.
In Georgia, 350 of every 100,000 adults started a new businesses monthly in 2011, placing the state outside the top 10. Arizona was first with 520 startups per 100,000. Last year, Georgia led the nation with 510. “Georgia may have dropped because the economy is doing better, so less people are forced to start businesses instead of getting jobs,” study author Rob Fairlie said. “
