Employee Ownership & Economic Well-Being
Employee-owners aged 28–34 have 92% higher median household wealth, and higher wages and longer job tenure than non-employee-owners.
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.
