==Census Data==
The source of the data for these claims and Figure 1 is "JobsEQ": https://www.chmura.com/software. The figure shows an annual average growth rate of 5% (compounding to 60% over ten years), which is strong, particularly for a state like Vermont, but not impossible. The scaling of the axis makes it look more dramatic.
The Business Dynamics Statistics data from the U.S. Census is the standard data source for entry and exit and is available at the state-NAICS NAICS2 level from 1978 to 2019 (an update is due). There are numerous well-documented issues with using BDS, including that it measures establishments, not firms, and that the Census restricts access to sparse data. See the [[American Community Survey (ACS) Data]] page for related information.
