What is the incorporated self-employment rate in management, business, and financial services?

• A. 4.4%
• B. 6.2%
• C. 8.9%
• D. 5.8%

Answer: (C)

This uses the idea of how many self-employed workers run their business as an incorporated entity rather than as a sole proprietorship. An incorporated self-employment rate shows the share of self-employed people who operate under a corporate structure (like an LLC or a corporation) instead of working as an independent sole proprietor. In management, business, and financial services, professionals often form corporations to limit liability, manage taxes, and access certain benefits, so a nontrivial portion choose incorporation.

Seeing 8.9% means roughly 9 out of 100 self-employed individuals in that industry are incorporated, about one in eleven. The other numbers would suggest far less incorporation, which is less consistent with how many professional-service self-employed operate. Therefore, 8.9% is the best match for this measure.
