Employee Ownership by the Numbers
In early 2026, the NCEO research team unveiled the latest updates to the Employee Ownership by the Numbers page, showing the counts and characteristics of ESOPs in the US based on the latest data set made available by the Department of Labor. This Download highlights key statistics from the page to help your employee-owners see how your company fits into the broader employee ownership universe.
The fact sheet can also lead to further discussions with your employee-owners. What other employee-owned companies are in your area? In your industry? How can you connect with and learn from them? How can you support employee ownership through purchasing or partnerships? How can you spread the word?
Ideas for using this month’s resource:
- Share the infographic with employee-owners.
- Facilitate a team conversation about employee ownership in your area and industry.
- Brainstorm one idea on how to support another employee-owned business.
