The unemployed start small businesses with state funding. This story from msmbc looks at a handful of U.S. states managing an obscure program that seeks to turn unemployed people into entrepreneurs while they are allowed to continue collecting benefits. For the most part, the U.S., at least in some states, is somewhat unfriendly to unemployed people attempting to go into business for themselves as a solution for their circumstances. The system seems to favor those attempting to return to full-time work even though in the current economic climate both they and the economy might be better served if they went off on their own.
