Is Self-Employment Falling?

Leap of Faith (lomo-style)

A recent study was posted on Small Business Labs pertaining to the fact that Entrepreneurship may be decreasing. However, I would have to disagree with this study given the fact that there have been so many reports recently on new franchises, now being the best time to start a business, many people being laid off and deciding to become entrepreneurs and so on.

While self-employment as a percentage of the U.S. workforce has been relatively stable, we believe over the next decade the percentage of self-employed Americans will increase. 

There are several different ways that these studies are conducted, and many variables on what they consider to be self-employment and what they don’t. So where we very well may consider our selves to be self-employed, the person conducting these studies may not, which would make the study inconclusive.
