NES is the most comprehensive public source of data on the gig economy, which is a subset of the nonemployer universe and primarily consists of individual (sole) proprietorships. Sole proprietorships make up a large portion (approximately 86.4%) of nonemployers and of the total number of establishments in the U.S. economy (67.8%).
