; (D) minority firms secure a lower number and dollar amount of contracts in proportion to the number of available minority firms in the relevant market; and (E) minority business enterprises represent 29 percent of all firms but only 11 percent have paid employees. (6) If minority business enterprises were to obtain entrepreneurial parity, the United States economy would realize 13 million more jobs. (7) Minority-owned businesses are nearly twice as likely to export their products and services as nonminority owned businesses. Minority-owned businesses are three times more likely to generate 100 percent of their revenues from exporting than nonminority owned firms.

(9) A 2019 GAO report found that only 18 out of 101 HBCUs are in the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) network, and only 2 serve as lead (host organization) SBDCs. (10) Currently, to be a SBDC host organization, an HBCU must provide matching funds, which has led to only 2 such sites in the history of the program. (11) The 2019 GAO report stated that, while the Small Business Administration (SBA) is required by Executive order to submit an agency plan on an annual basis to the White House Initiative on HBCUs, GAO was only able to obtain the 2018 agency plan from the 2008–2018 time period and was unable to determine if the SBA had met its goals related to supporting HBCUs. (12) The 2018 SBA agency plan stated that the SBA would encourage the formation of strategic alliance memorandums between SBA district offices and HBCUs to promote entrepreneurship in underserved markets. (13) The 2019 GAO report found that, according to SBA officials, strategic alliance memorandums with HBCUs are largely symbolic in nature. 3.
