*Summary: *While entirely employee-owned companies like Davey or New Belgium are rare, almost half of private sector companies give workers some kind of stake in a business through stock options or profit sharing, according to *Joseph Blasi, director of the Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing at Rutgers University*. He said these kinds of plans can help reduce growing income inequality. “Having a chance to own some shares in your company or share in the profits, that’s a way for financial inclusion and fairness,” he said.
