Not all self-employment offers the same security. New U-M research using PSID data on about 10,000 U.S. families finds informal gig and odd-job work is tied to lower earnings, poorer health, and more instability. ISR researcher Joelle Abramowitz explains why these distinctions matter.
Three-column infographic comparing Business owners, Formal self-employed, and Informal self-employed, each with an icon at the top (buildings, briefcase, and a bicycle courier) and a list of outcomes; Business owners column lists Higher earnings, More stable, Best health, and Highest life satisfaction with corresponding icons, Formal self-employed lists Moderate earnings, Some stability, Better health, and Higher life satisfaction, and Informal self-employed lists Lower earnings, Less stable, Poorer health, and Lower life satisfaction; footer text reads Based on PSID data from 2003 to 2019.
