EFES HÍREK - 2019. JÚNIUS
| The
USA is widening the gap |
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
