Abstract: This study tests the impact of household and demographic factors on the economic well-being of the farm and nonfarm self-employed using data from the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series. Parametric and nonparametric techniques are used to test for statistical differences in selfemployment and household income levels. Further, household and demographic factors are tested for their effect on self-employment income using a censored tobit regression model. Findings indicate the farm self-employed report significantly higher levels of self-employment income than the nonfarm self-employed. Several household and demographic factors significantly impact self-employment income levels for the farm and nonfarm self-employed.
