We are thrilled to share Patrick Kennedy's brand-new ESOP article in the Star Tribune!

We invite you to read this brand-new feature on Minnesota's largest ESOP companies, which paints a powerful picture of what employee ownership is doing for workers across our state.

Minnesota now ranks fourth in the nation per capita for ESOP companies, with 243 plans holding a combined $165 billion in plan assets — and the average employee-owner account has grown to nearly $200,000.

As MNCEO Executive Director Kirsten Kennedy told the Star Tribune: “ESOPs are something that makes our state and our region not only unique, but bold and strong.”

From Cargill and Andersen Corporation to lesser-known gems like MacArthur Co. and Intact Services, employee ownership is thriving across industries. Read the full article to see where Minnesota stands and which companies are leading the way.
