What is the # of employers that go out of business every year?  I am
not interested in the number of businesses that go out of business. 
More specifically, I need to know the number of employers that go out
of business each year.

Hello Tanyar,

According to Ross Eisenbrey, vice president and policy director of the
Economic Policy Institute, about half a million employers go out of
business each year.

Excerpt:

?Overtime compensation is put at risk of fraud, bankruptcy and
business closure; each year about half a million employers go out of
business.?

?With 500,000 employers going out of business in a given year, workers
are at a great risk of losing the value of their accumulated time.
Private sector employers are less likely to have union representation,
leaving them more vulnerable to coercion.?

650,000 employers go out of business or start new businesses each year

?A study by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) notes some
complexities: 650,000 employers go out of business or start new
businesses each year. More than 4 million employers have 10 or fewer
employees, often having record-keeping problems and errors. About 12
million to 15 million individuals are self-employed and presumably
would have to send money directly to a private account.?
