More than two-thirds of businesses are started at home; only 21% of all businesses employ someone other than the owner.

I agree. He's looking at a lot of businesses that aren't in the software/IT industries. For example, his statistics include plumbers, landscapers, artists, etc. If there's anything I've learned from the Internet it's that the Internet isn't quite like anything else out there.
I'd be interested to see what the statistics are for only tech-related businesses and consulting vs. producing.
