Notes: Proprietors employment includes both farm and nonfarm proprietors. Farm self-employment is defined as the number of non-corporate farm operators, consisting of sole proprietors and partners. Nonfarm self-employment measures jobs--as opposed to workers--on a full-time and part-time basis, primarily by place of residence.
