Self-employment is an option that has been considered a viable economic alternative for minority populations facing barriers to gainful employment in the traditional wage and salary labor market in the U.S. This book examines whether self-employment is an opportunity that will enable the Hispanic householder who resides in the Southwest portion of the United States to earn a living that will keep his/her household above the threshold of poverty.(Ph.D. Dissertation, Ohio State University, 1997; revised with new Introduction and Preface.) Booknews Draws on figures from the 1990 US Census to examine whether self- employment is an option that can enable Hispanic householders who reside in the southwest part of the country to raise their households above poverty. Finds that just over half of the eight percent of that population then self-employed earned over the poverty level, and that human capital, assimilation, and individual and relationship capital were more abundant among that half.
