City of South Bend Disoarity Study 2020 released in December 2015, so our analysis reflects the most current data avail- able. The SBO collects demographic data on business owners disaggregated into the following groups:139,140 • non -Hispanic Blacks • Latinos • non -Hispanic Native Americans • non -Hispanic Asians • non -Hispanic White women • non -Hispanic White men • Firms Equally Owned by non -Whites and Whites • Firms Equally Owned by men and women • Firms where the ownership could not be classified • Publicly -Owned Firms For purposes of this analysis, the first four groups were aggregated to form a non- White category. Since our interest is the treatment of non White -owned firms and White women -owned firms, the last five groups were aggregated to form one cat- egory. To ensure this aggregated group is described accurately, we label this group ,not non-White/non-White women'. While this label is cumbersome, it is import- ant to be clear this group includes firms whose ownership extends beyond White men, such as firms that are not classifiable or that are publicly traded and thus have no racial ownership. In addition to the ownership demographic data, the Sur- vey also gathers information on the sales, number of paid employees, and payroll for each reporting firm. In this section, we examined all industries in the State of Indiana. Table 5-1 pres- ents data on the percentage share that each group has of the total of each of the following six business outcomes: • The number of all firms • The sales and receipts of all firms • The number of firms with employees (employer firms) • The sales and receipts of all employer firms 139. Race and gender labels reflect the categories used by the Census Bureau. 140. For expository purposes, the adjective "non -Hispanic" will not be used in this chapter; the reader should assume that any racial group referenced does not include members of that group who identify ethnically as Latino. 72 0 2020 Colette Holt & Associates, All Rights Reserved.
