Nonemployer Statistics
are an annual series that provides economic data for businesses that have no
paid employees and are subject to federal income tax. The data consist of the
number of businesses and total receipts by industry. Receipts includes gross
receipts, sales, commissions, and income from trades and businesses, as
reported on annual business income tax returns. Business income consists of all
payments received for services rendered by nonemployer businesses, such as
payments received as independent agents and contractors.
The data are
accessible through the U.S. Census Bureau’s American FactFinder and the Nonemployer Statistics website. Below are some of the numbers as they apply to the
region (Herkimer and Oneida Counties combined) from the Nonemployer statistics.
