Employee Ownership & Economic Well-Being

Employee-owners aged 28–34 have 92% higher median household wealth, higher wages and longer job tenure.

Summary

This National Center for Employee Ownership report analyzes Bureau of Labor Statistics survey data from 5,504 workers aged 28–34, comparing employee-owners to non-employee-owners. Findings show employee-owners have significantly higher household wealth, wages, job stability, and access to benefits—advantages that persist across demographic groups including workers of color, single parents, and non-college graduates, and hold up under multivariate regression analysis.
