Abstract: Despite the assumption that symptoms of hypomania are detrimental, they may prove beneficial within self-employment contexts. Drawing on person-environment (P/E) fit theory and using the first National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol Related Conditions (NESARC 1), our conservative inferences are that for self-employed individuals, hypomania has a positive association with income, self-employed individuals with higher education have higher levels of income with increasing hypomania score, and older self-employed individuals with a higher hypomania score have a higher income. These findings have implications for the literature on hypomania symptoms and self-employment related labor market outcomes.
