NCEO/ESCA Research: ESOPs, Wealth, and Jobs

Since the February 1 release of the NBC News Now story “Instead of ‘I quit,’ workers at these companies say they’re staying put and reaping rewards,” inspired by new NCEO research supported by ESCA, the NCEO has received many inquiries from people wanting to know more and asking for ways they can easily share the information.
