and had $365.2 billion in receipts in 2021, according to the new Non-employer Statistics by Demographics (NES-D) series
released today by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Minorities, those classified as any race and ethnic combination other than non-Hispanic and White, owned 37.9% (10.8 million)
of non-employer businesses and had $419.6 billion in receipts. There were a total of 28.5 million nonemployer businesses with
