The Worker Cooperative Enterprise Census is the national, comprehensive opportunity to capture trends across worker cooperatives and democratic workplaces in the United States.
It provides direct benefit to democratic workplaces: helping increase access to capital for businesses, supporting cooperative-friendly policy development, showcasing shared ownership as a mainstream supplier of resilient, high-quality jobs, and more. In 2021, understanding the worker cooperative field is vital. We know that worker co-ops provide a model for communities to prioritize economic equity as they pursue post-COVID economic recoveries.
