The Census Bureau reports 10% of the workforce being self-employed for their main occupation. That's virtually the same as it was 20 years ago. > I read an article recently that the number of public companies has halved compared to a few decades ago. That's not because there are fewer companies but rather because private markets have much more capital. OpenAI is the extreme example. If it were public, it would be the ~tenth most valuable public company in the world.
