Self-employment is an important aspect of the immigrant experience in the labor market. Self-employment rates for immigrants exceed 15 percent for some national groups. This paper addresses three related questions on the self—employment experience of immigrants. First, how do self-employment rates of immigrants compare to those of native-born men? Second, is there an 'assimilationtt effect on the self-employment propensity of immigrants? Finally, are the more recent waves of immigrants facing different self— employment opportunities than the earlier waves? Using the 1970 and 1980 U.S. Censuses, the analysis shows that indeed self-employment rates of immigrants exceed those of native-born men; that there is a strong, positive impact of assimilation on self-employment rates; and that more recent waves of immigrants are opting with increasing frequency for the self-employment option
