If you cite the 2015 data, the majority ownership of minority-owned businesses belonged to which group?

• A. Asian Americans
• B. African Americans
• C. Hispanic Americans
• D. Native Americans

Answer: (A)

The data show that among minority-owned businesses in 2015, Asian Americans owned the largest share, making them the most represented group in this category. This reflects higher rates of business creation within Asian American communities and factors such as access to networks, education, and capital that often support entrepreneurship. While African American, Hispanic, and Native American owners contribute to minority business ownership, they represent smaller shares compared with Asian American owners.
