According to a 2004 Bureau of Labor Statistics report, "among all workers, self-employment rates [excluding self-employed in incorporated businesses] are higher for men than for women (8.3 percent versus 5.8 percent in total), and increase with age. At ages 45 to 54, 8.7 percent of all workers are self-employed compared with 11.1 percent for those ages 55 to 64 and 19.3 percent for those age 65 and older. These age patterns hold for both men and women, and are evident for both agricultural and nonagricultural employment." (p. 26)
