An image of Heated Rivalry couple Shane and Ilya in hockey gear facing off on the ice. Text in front of them reads “worker cooperatives joining local networks for mutual support even if they are business competitors”
We’re stronger when we work together 💗 That’s the nature of cooperation, and why nearly 3/4 of #WorkerCoops and democratic workplaces we surveyed were members of local networks or associations in 2024.

A line graph shows a sharp increase of workforce size around 2020, text reads “the workforce has more than doubled”
Overlay text reads “we asked, why start a co-op? And worker-owners answered ‘the cooperative model fits our values. We see cooperative models as the future for workplaces. The work we do is about helping people sustain he work they love and the world needs, this work doesn’t happen in isolation’
Today, there are an estimated 1,300 #WorkerCoops and democratic workplaces employing 16k workers across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. In 2024 we identified 820 firms employing 13,520 workers, more than double the workforce counted just over a decade ago.

A bar graph with two bars, one reads 13% traditional businesses and the other reads 34% worker co-ops and text reads “according to the united states chamber of commerce, traditional small businesses only grew 13% since 2019”
#WorkerCoops and democratic workplaces are growing steadily and meaningfully. Since 2020, the sector has grown 34%, while traditional small businesses only grew 13% since 2019.
