According to a recent Job Creators Network Foundation survey , "Sixteen-percent of Americans say they are likely to start a new business in 2019." of Americans will start a small business in 2019 instead of 16%. Given this data, it's not surprising 16% would say they will do so in 2019, even though relatively few will.    It seems fairly certain that 2019 will not beat 2016 in terms of auto sales.
