Start Ups Expect to Create Thousands of New Jobs

It's no secret that small business is the key to the recovery and reigning in unemployment, and that start-ups, particularly those involving the high tech industry, are taking the lead. Proving this point are the results of a recent survey of 375 U.S.-based, private, venture capital-backed software, hardware, life science and clean tech companies. The research revealed that start-ups are so optimistic about current business opportunities that 83 percent plan to hire this year. That means thousands of new jobs will likely be created.
