The number of self-employed individuals in security, investigation, building services, landscape, and office support activities in the U.S. is expected to show a slight declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The forecast begins at 459,000 persons in 2024 and gradually decreases to 453,000 by 2028. In 2023, this sector had a slightly higher value, indicating slow but consistent decline over the forecast period.
Year-on-year variations show a marginal decrease of approximately 0.2% to 0.4% annually, suggesting a modest contraction in self-employment within these industries. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) similarly reflects this downward trend, indicating a slight shrinkage over five years.
Future trends to watch include advancements in technology, which may further impact the demand for self-employed individuals in these areas, as well as shifts in the labor market favoring either contract or traditional employment models. Additionally, economic conditions and potential regulatory changes could influence self-employment numbers in these sectors.
