The forecast for the number of self-employed persons in medium-high R&D intensive activities in the US shows a stable trend from 2024 to 2028. The numbers remain consistent at 206.0 thousand units from 2024 to 2026, with a slight increase to 207.0 thousand units in 2027 and 2028. In 2023, the self-employment count stood at the same level. A comparison over the two-year period reveals no percent change year on year from 2024 to 2026, and a minimal increase of 0.49% from 2026 to 2027, maintaining the same for 2028. This reflects a lack of significant growth in this sector.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes influencing self-employment and R&D activities, technological advancements impacting job creation, and economic conditions that could alter the landscape for self-employed professionals in these industries.
