Profitable entrepreneurship or marginal self-employment? The bimodality of Latina self-employment in the United States
研究美国拉丁裔女性自雇的双峰结构，发现创业（注册公司）者收入高于非注册自雇者但低于可比工资劳动者，教育和工作时间比自雇类型对收入影响更大。
We consider the economic development potential of recent dramatic growth in Latina business ownership. Regression modeling with American Community Survey data reveals (a) compared with salaried workers, the entrepreneurial (incorporated business) and other self-employed (unincorporated business) have, respectively, higher and lower rates of English proficiency, college completion, and homeownership; (b) the median Latina entrepreneur earns more than the median unincorporated self-employed but less than a comparable salaried worker; and (c) type of work matters less to Latina’s earnings than having a college degree and working full-time. Working Latinas can benefit from educational opportunities, family-friendly work arrangements, and business incorporation.
