This empirical study references estimates of the critical economic misery indices such as unemployment, incarceration, poverty purchasing power disparity to present the stunted economic status of African American in the contemporary free market economy.  Most especially, the estimates of the unemployment present that African American is in an economic depression when the white is in an economic recession. These estimates have led a disproportional purchasing power disparity faced by the group. The study encourages elevated market entrepreneurship, business partnership, and education to minimize the misery economic indices.

Based on a systematic review of the literature, this article seeks to analyse the main questions, interpretations, and typologies for minority entrepreneurship over recent decades. To this end, we made recourse to the Scopus database for our article collection process that returned 220 articles for analysis. The results enable the identification of seven congruent research units (categories), with their own respective approaches and contributions: i) attitudes and motivations; ii) barriers and challenges; iii) interventionist policies and cultures; iv) comparisons between minorities and non-minorities; v) networks and resources; vi) impact on the local economy; vii) autonomous employment or entrepreneurship through need. This study further contributes by enabling future researchers to target their efforts on the still poorly explored shortcomings in the literature and providing a temporal overview of this theme.
