Join @ILCEO on September 4th for a hearing with @Chicago City Council to expand ownership in the city. Your voice is needed! RSVP here: https://shorturl.at/oKpqz. Employee ownership has a remarkable track record in shaping quality jobs and empowering workers with economic opportunities and financial security. Studies reveal that employee owners of color enjoy a 30% higher wage income compared to non-employee owners of color. Additionally, women employee owners experience a 17% increase in wage income compared to their non-employee owner counterparts! The Chicago City Council is exploring a resolution to enhance employee ownership. Your voice is crucial in this discussion! Let's make a difference together. #ilceo #employeeowned #business #jobs #equity  #eoxnetwork

Did you know?? Research by Rutgers NJ/NY Center for Employee Ownership and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation found that Black women who were low and moderate income ESOP employees had total retirement account values of $55,000 vs $200 for Black women in non-ESOP companies. Employee ownership can help change lives and empower communities. Join @ILCEO on September 4th for a hearing with @Chicago City Council to expand ownership in the city.
