Abstract

This document describes the inputs, construction process, and final output of the Self-Employment Job Frame (SEJ). The SEJ covers work that takes place outside of formal employer-employee relationships. These jobs include those held by IRS Form 1099 workers, gig workers such as rideshare drivers, independent contractors, freelancers, and owners of sole proprietorships with or without paid employees such as domestic workers or daycare operators. Section 2 provides background on the Frames program overall, the Job Frame in particular, and the research projects that informed the design of the SEJ. This section also identifies the first anticipated uses of the SEJ. Section 3 identifies key features of the SEJ such as required variables, scope, and unit of observation. Section 4 identifies the administrative origin of this information before and after the Census Bureau receives it from the Internal Revenue Service. Section 5 details the SEJ production process and Section 6 provides a layout for the final file. References are listed in Section 7.
