I agree that many of these being people hustling for a buck and not starting a business.

The other thing is, shouldn't we wait to see if these businesses are successful before we start saying it is a good thing for the economy?

What's the difference between "hustling for a buck" and "starting a business"?

The intention? Not everyone who is now "working for themselves" is trying to start a business. Take my house cleaner for instance, she would rather have a job and has no intention to grow her business or be in it long term.
