Unidos está ampliando la brecha |
Studies are proliferating about employee share ownership
in the US, bringing useful information for everyone
in the world, including Europe.
The 2018 administration of the US General Social Survey,
a long-standing survey of the US work force, included
a segment on employee ownership.
It found that 20% of private-sector workers in the USA
have some level of ownership in the companies where
they work, including 11 million who participate in ESOPs
and 25 million with some other form of stock-based compensation.
This is 36 million in total compared to 9 million in
Europe.
The survey found that among those workers that hold
company stock, the average value of that stock was $75,205.
In total $2,700 billion compared to 400 billion € in
Europe.
The study's author, professor Douglas Kruse, noted that
employee-owners are "six times less likely to be
laid off." The study found that, over the last
year, the surveyed non-employee-owners were laid off
at a rate of 3.7%, versus 0.6% for the employee-owners.
Among companies with employee engagement programs, the
study found that companies with generous employee ownership
plans had a rate of turnover in general (i.e., including
voluntary turnover) of 6%, far less than the 14% rate
for those with no stock plan.
This reality is far from the idea which was prevailing
in the Juncker Commission in Brussels, that employee
share ownership would be too risky and bringing additional
uncertainty to workers.
The truth is that employee share ownership brings more
wealth and stability. More
