Crowdfunding: Saving the U.S. Economy [Infographic]

The JOBS Act – the legislature that legalizes equity-based crowdfunding – passed the Congress, got President Obama’s approval, and is currently being shaped by the SEC. Equity-based crowdfunding will allow people with creative and interesting projects to not only raise capital, but also test the market for their products. Access to capital is especially hard to come by during and in the aftermath of economic downturns, like the one from which the U.S. is currently recovering. But how will the JOBS Act affect the jobs market?

Crowdfunding platform Rock the Post certainly seems to think it will be a good way to decrease unemployment and help entrepreneurs get access to capital. Check out the company’s infographic below, and let us know what your thoughts are in the comments section!
