The year 2023 was not a good harvest for unused workers … but depending on the activity sector, some are improving for the game than others. According to a Insee study presented this Thursday, June 26, in constant euros, the average income of the “classic non -employees” (excluding the agricultural sector and the micro -entering, the editor’s note) fell by 4.4% in 2023, after a 5.2% drop in 2022. These workers not displaced yet paid the tasks of high inflation, established in 4.9% in 4.9% in 2023 in 2023 the previous year.
Worse, its average income is 6.3% lower than its 2019 level, before the COVVI-19 health crisis that had stopped a certain number of companies and, therefore, weakened the managers and worked on their own. And again, some see that their activity income decreases more significantly than others: in particular, while the market was seized in 2023, professionals not used in the sector saw that their activity income decreased by 18.5%. On the contrary, in the field of automotive trade and reparation, the entry of non-salared activity is almost stable (-0.7% between 2023 and 2022).
Important disparities
If conventional self -employed workers have received an activity income from an average of 4,040 euros per month in 2023, this amount masks the large disparities between the activity sectors.
In the field of human health and social action, for example, self -employed have gained an average of 5,870 euros per month. The average income of the activity reaches an average of 5,100 euros per month in services to mixed companies and services, 3,060 euros per month in commercial and commercial crafts, 2,080 euros per month by transport and 1,920 euros per month in individual services (excluding health).
Therefore, “a classic non -employee in two earns more than 2,620 euros per month and 7.9% of classic non -employees receive more than 10,000 euros in monthly income,” the details are registered.
If doctors and dentists have seen that their income from activities falls by 2.9% between 2022 and 2023, they remain with great employees who generated the highest income with an average of 9,900 euros per month in 2023.
The income of the activity of non -employees vary strongly within the same sector. Thus, doctors and dentists earn 2.6 times more than paramedical and midwife professions. In commercial services, legal and accounting activities also generate twice the income that information and communication workers.
11% declares zero activity income or is in deficit
Among the self -employed workers in 2023, 11% even declared a null or deficit income, “because they did not generate profits or have not paid the remuneration,” specifies the ISE. This proportion is higher than before the health crisis: 8% in 2019. Here too, not all activity sectors are in the same brand: if only 2% of liberal health professionals have declared a zero or deficit income in 2023, this participation increases to more than 20% in immobilized activities, of retail, administrative and administrative activities such as companies such as arts, shows, and recreational. Recreational activities.
