Earnings Growth Among Young Less-Educated Business Owners Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society 43,3 (July 2004): 634-660. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.0019-8676.2004.00353.x/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Institute of Industrial Relations, University of California, Berkeley Keyword(s): Education; Modeling, Fixed Effects; Self-Employed Workers; Wage Growth; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), I examine the earnings patterns of young less-educated business owners and make comparisons with young less-educated wage/salary workers. Estimates from fixed-effects earnings regressions indicate that the self-employed experience faster earnings growth on average than wage/salary workers after a few initial years of slower growth. I also find some evidence suggesting that a relatively high percentage of less-educated business owners, especially men, experience either rapid earnings growth or large annual losses.
