U.S. Statistics
In the United States, self-employment remains a significant avenue for entrepreneurship. As of October 2024, approximately 9.84 million individuals were self-employed. The U.S. Census Bureau reported that there are over 33 million business owners and self-employed individuals across the country. These figures highlight that a substantial part of business ownership in the U.S. is driven by self-employed entrepreneurs. This trend underscores the importance of accessible entrepreneurial education and resources, such as those offered in programs like The First Steps to Entrepreneurship, which cater to individuals aiming to start and grow their own business.
an addition to workforce development
- Self-Employment Assistance (SEA) programs (in some states) allow people receiving unemployment benefits to use their time to start a business instead of seeking jobs.
- Workforce Development Boards sometimes count self-employment outcomes as successful “placements” under federal performance metrics.
- Nonprofit or community workforce programs may train participants in small business management or freelancing instead of focusing on job matching.
