> Sixty-two percent of millennials have considered starting their own businesses
I call horseshit. "Considered" in the same way as "considered what life would be like if you could fly". There's a giant difference between daydreaming and taking even the first step towards merely investigating what's required to start a business.
> 72 percent think startups are “essential for new innovation and jobs,”
I'd be genuinely surprised if 72% even knew what 'startup' meant, let alone have such a strong opinion of them.
I'd believe the above numbers if the survey was limited to an area which is hyper-aware of startups, like a college in SF or similar.
