State of informal economy
New district-level estimates show the informal, or unincorporated, sector is highly concentrated in a few places. The spread tells us these areas have very different labour markets, not just different counts of small businesses. For owners, that means local wages, skills and hiring conditions vary sharply from district to district. Check your own district's numbers before you plan hiring or expansion.
Key Statutory Highlights
- District estimates reveal a high concentration in the unincorporated, or informal, sector.
- The spread indicates the unincorporated sector contains very different labour markets.
- The difference is not merely in the numbers of small enterprises across districts.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Look at the district estimates for the area where you operate, and use them as one input when you plan hiring or expansion, since local labour conditions may differ from the state or national picture.
