Today’s cover story on the front page of the Money section in USA Today highlights jewelry designer and life-long entrepreneur, Patty Tobin. The story, “Never Too Late to Start a Business: Older Americans Fan Entrepreneurial Spark,” comes on the heels of last week’s Index of Entrepreneurial Activity, a report released by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, which found that Americans between the ages of 55 and 64 represented the second-largest jump in entrepreneurial activity in the U.S. from 2008-2009.
