In 2015, which group owned more than half of minority-owned businesses?

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

Answer: (A)

Asian Americans. The main idea here is how ownership of minority-owned businesses is distributed among different racial groups, and which group contributes the most to that total. In 2015, Asian Americans owned more than half of all minority-owned businesses. This reflects their relatively large share within the minority business-owner population and a higher rate of entrepreneurship in this group, often tied to participation in fast-growing sectors and strong immigrant entrepreneurship networks. The remaining minority groups—African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans—owned the rest, with their shares influenced by factors like population size, access to capital, and industry patterns.
