Mike Stull, director of the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship at CSUSB, was interviewed for an article about the region’s minority-owned businesses bouncing back from the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the Inland Empire’s 60,280 businesses, 35 percent – 21,261 – were owned by minority entrepreneurs at the end of last year, according to the State of Entrepreneurship Minority Report, compiled by the IECE at Cal State San Bernardino.
Sixteen percent of those businesses, – a total of 9,395 – were owned by Latinos, while 20 percent were owned by other ethnicities: Native American, Asian Islander, and Asian Indians.
Only one percent – 681 businesses – were owned by African-Americans, the report found.
“Over the past six years, entrepreneurship among underrepresented minorities) has been healthy and an important driver of economic growth in the Inland Empire,” said Stull. “The rate of startup activity for minority-owned firms in the Inland Empire has outpaced the state and national trend during that same period of time.”
