Are the nonemployers the same as self-employed individuals?
Most nonemployers are self-employed, although some partnerships and small corporations are included as well. Only partnerships and corporations with no paid employees are included in the nonemployer statistics. Nonemployers do NOT include about a million self-employed business owners that have paid employees and, therefore, are classified as employer businesses. Many nonemployer businesses are part-time ventures and an individual might operate more than one.
