I'm faily confident that full-time employees are more likely to have a job a year from now with same or higher income, than startup entrepreneurs.

I'm pretty sure that on "same or higher income", entrepreneurs have better 1-year odds-- because their incomes are a lot lower.

He means Expected Value I think. Average out all the entrepreneurs and their income today, compare that to their expected value in a year, and then compare that to the expected value of all full-time employees. Of course this is a really vague metric created by the parent post, but his/her point stands.
