U.S. states appear to be doing a better job of encouraging entrepreneurial activity than Canadian provinces according to research released Monday by independent research organization the Fraser Institute. The study named Idaho first among the top six states encouraging entrepreneurship. The other states included: Vermont, California, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Minnesota. The study went on to say that these six stated generated more than five times the number of patents, relative to population, than Alberta, the highest ranked Canadian province at 42nd.

I am happy to report that my husband, Billy Griffin, has joined the ranks of the self employed. After working for nearly 12 years for "one of the world's leading providers of advanced semiconductor solutions..." he will be doing what he loves. Building customs and hot rods. Being one of the top metal workers in the state, I am confident that he will be successful in his venture. Email at griffinhotrods@gmail.com
