Q: Who Creates More Minority Wealth Than US?
Submitted by CARPE DIEM
A: Nobody.
From George Will’s most recent column:
McDonald’s exemplifies the role of small businesses in Americans’ upward mobility. The company is largely a confederation of small businesses: 85% of its U.S. restaurants — average annual sales, $2.2 million — are owned by franchisees. McDonald’s has made more millionaires, and especially black and Hispanic millionaires, than any other economic entity ever, anywhere.
(HT: Division of Labor)
From McDonald’s website:
1. McDonald’s Hispanic-owned restaurants generate estimated annual revenues in excess of $1.5 billion. Note: That is more than the annual GDP of the Central Amercian country of Belize.
2. McDonald’s African-American-owned restaurants generate estimated annual revenues in excess of $2.4 billion. Note: That is about the same as the annual GDP of the African country of Rwanda.
