    "-- Nearly half of new microbusinesses are women-owned -- Many microbusiness owners are pulling double duty, depending on a second job to make ends meet -- Despite struggles, 69 percent of microbusiness owners say they have the ideal job -- Microbusinesses would rather spend more time serving customers than taking time off WASHINGTON & BENTONVILLE, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 03, 2014-- One in three microbusiness owners (31%) depend more on a second job for their personal income than they do on their business, yet 69 percent say owning their business is the ideal job, according to the new Sam's Club/Gallup Microbusiness Tracker. In collaboration with Gallup, Sam's Club unveiled a new quarterly tracking poll today focused on America's smallest businesses -- microbusinesses -- with five or fewer workers. With more than 25 million microbusinesses in the United States*, they account for approximately 10 percent of all American jobs across a broad spectrum of businesses, such as pizza shops and cafes, convenience stores, pet groomers, mechanics, offices, day care centers and more. The results of the inaugural Sam's Club/Gallup Microbusiness Tracker provide new insights into the preparedness, concerns and needs of America's vital microbusiness segment. The results reflect 868 phone interviews made in March 2014 with companies of five or fewer employees."

  • Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook and Yahoo aren't likely to make changes to the way they collect or share data overnight. Some online tools politely request third-party trackers to stop, but such requests are like a "gentleman's anonymity based on a handshake," Ford said. Of course, if you're signed into a service like Facebook that asks for your real name up front, you've already checked anonymity at the door.
