Unemployment Tops Self Employment

American men are now more likely to receive unemployment checks than income from non-farm self employment. According to the Current Population Survey, 7.2 million men (6.9 percent) made money from non-farm self employment in 2010 versus a larger 7.5 million (7.1 percent) who received unemployment compensation. In 2007, men who made money from non-farm self employment outnumbered those receiving unemployment by more than two to one.
