Worker-Owned Businesses On the Rise

Worker-owned businesses such as co-ops and ESOPs are on the rise, in part because they address issues such as income disparity.

USA Today looks at this trend, noting that 350 worker-owned co-ops in the US employ 5000 people. They have posted double-digit growth since 2010, according to Amy Johnson, co-executive director of the US Federation of Worker Co-ops.  http://usat.ly/1TVzyAa
