7.4 million Boomers are self-employed

66% of respondents in a 2006 Yahoo Small Business and Harris Interactive survey said they wanted to start a company someday; 37% of those said they hoped to do so within the next five years

Between 70,000 and 80,000 corporate employees are laid off every month, about 30,000 more than just six years ago, according to Challenger Gray & Christmas, which tracks national layoff statistics

CEO’s survive an average of 44.4 months; CFO’s last 39.4 months; CIO’s 36.4 months; CMO’s 23.2 months

According to ExecuNet, the average executive tenure is 3.4 years ... less than a single US Presidential term

Research confirms that searches for top executives have averaged as long as 23 months
