The Steady Rise of the Nonemployer Business [1]

['Us Census Bureau', 'Travis Shoemaker']

Date: 2025-07-30  -04:00

The total number of U.S. nonemployer establishments increased every year from 1997 to 2023 except during the financial crisis in 2008, according to the newly released Nonemployer Statistics.

Most nonemployers are self-employed individuals who operate their own business, which may be (but isn’t necessarily) their primary income source.

The U.S. Census Bureau data show annual growth of nonemployer establishments (those with no paid employees) almost always outpaced that of employer businesses (those with at least one paid employee). Nonemployers also represented a larger share of all U.S. businesses each year from 1997 to 2023 (Figure 1).
