Abstract

This chapter categorizes boomer entrepreneurship in the context of a less physically demanding US knowledge economy. The subcategories of boomer entrepreneurs include nascent versus existing boomer entrepreneurs, necessity versus opportunity boomer entrepreneurs, incorporated versus unincorporated boomer entrepreneurs, and full-time versus part-time boomer entrepreneurs. This empirical study relies on descriptive statistics and tests the hypothesis that boomer entrepreneurs are not a homogeneous group. Monthly data from the Current Population Survey are used. The study also demonstrates a method of categorizing different types of entrepreneurs using monthly employment data.
