Research from <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.goldmansachs.com%2Finsights%2Farticles%2Fhow-will-ai-affect-the-global-workforce&amp;esheet=54397170&amp;newsitemid=20260115700644&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Goldman+Sachs&amp;index=2&amp;md5=8a998c824af746a2b59846165dba93ca\">Goldman Sachs<\/a> suggests that AI adoption could displace the equivalent of 6-7% of the US workforce, with white-collar roles particularly exposed. Yet, AI is also opening up new areas of opportunity by lowering barriers to entry, automating complex tasks, and making it possible to launch and grow a business with fewer resources.<\/p>\n<p>\nTo better understand how people are weighing their career choices, LegalZoom surveyed more than 1,200 adults navigating job loss, reduced hours, or limited opportunities. The responses offer a detailed look at how interest in entrepreneurship is evolving, what motivates people to consider starting a business, and what may be holding them back.<\/p>\n<p>\nInterest in entrepreneurship is high among adults facing unemployment or underemployment, with most believing it could offer greater stability, control, and long-term opportunity. Sixty-two percent (62%) of unemployed or underemployed adults say they\u2019re somewhat or very likely to start a business within the next 12 months, with 26% saying they\u2019re very likely. Sixty-nine percent (69%) say self-employment feels more appealing than a traditional job right now, including 40% who say it feels much more appealing.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cDuring periods of economic transition or uncertainty, we often see a surge in entrepreneurship as people seek to take control of their future,\u201d said Jeff Stibel, CEO of LegalZoom. \u201cWhat\u2019s striking in this data is not just the high level of interest, but the clear pattern of individuals actively pursuing a path to business ownership as a response to both personal disruption and market opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nMost of the survey respondents appear to be experiencing that firsthand. Flexibility, financial potential, and independence stand out as the clearest motivators. Sixty percent (60%) cite flexibility and independence as key motivations. Fifty-two percent (52%) point to greater income potential, though this varies notably between unemployed (43%) and underemployed (61%) adults. Job insecurity and broader concerns about the job market also play a role, each cited by 27% of respondents.<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, strong interest does not always translate to immediate action. Respondents identified significant challenges to launching a business: 66% cite a lack of start-up capital, 56% worry about financial risk, 48% are unsure where to start, 47% feel a lack of confidence, and 45% say they don\u2019t have enough experience. While 57% feel at least somewhat confident in their ability to run a business, they are seeking support to move forward, with 44% wanting legal and business help to set up their business. Moreover, 59% stated that they are unprepared for the legal paperwork and compliance associated with launching a business.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe see a clear pattern of entrepreneurship here. Most unemployed or underemployed adults are open to entrepreneurship and can picture what their future businesses might look like, but they want stability, guidance, and manageable entry points to move forward,\u201d added Stibel. \u201cAs more people explore business ownership, accessible tools and clear guidance can make the process more attainable. I am proud that LegalZoom helps support entrepreneurs with resources that simplify business formation, compliance, and long-term management, helping them build momentum as they embark on the next stage of their careers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>About LegalZoom<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nLegalZoom is a leading online platform for legal services, transforming how individuals and small businesses navigate the legal system.
