Looking for data on the growth of independent work

[Sam]

Greetings folks!

I'm currently working on a paper analyzing the historical trend of adolescents' view of work. I'm hypothesizing that the growth in independent work we've all experienced as coworking owners/enthusiasts should be visible in the historical data of adolescents I have access to. I'm working hard digging through an extensive data set of 20 years of adolescent attitudes on a myriad of variables but the other component I need assistance with is locating the data that shows there indeed has been a growth in independent workers (particularly in the U.S.). I've got data on nonemployee businesses from the US census but I was wondering if anybody could point me in another direction. What data have you used in your business pitches/proposals/etc?

Thanks for your help!

Alex and Julianne:  Thanks for referencing our work.

 

Sam: Interesting topic.  I'd be happy to discuss this with you.  Historical data on independent work is more than a bit messy, but I can take through the various govt. and other sources.

 

Send me an email (sk...@emergentresearch.com) and we can set up a time to talk.
