ICYMI: COVID-19 caused a BIG spike in self-employment & new business formation as workers adjust to the "new normal". It's especially surprising since business creation/destruction ("dynamism"), which drives productivity/growth/jobs, has been declining for decades. HOWEVER... /1
There are a lot of federal/state/local policies that inhibit business formation & burden self-employed workers in many occupations. In fact, the USA ranks poorly in "ease of starting a business"... AND /2
We've been besieged in recent years by state occupational licensing rules, which increased from 5% of occupations a few decades ago to 20-30% & have been shown to harm entrepreneurship - esp in "low income" fields, many of which are part of that "COVID entrepreneur" surge /3
