The Employee Ownership 100

America's Largest Companies That Are 50% or More Employee-Owned Through an ESOP, Stock Purchase Plan, or Other Broad-Based Ownership Plan

This list was last updated in June 2003. Companies on this list must be at least 50% owned by an ESOP or other qualified plan, or at least 50% of their full-time employees must collectively own at least 50% of the company's stock through some other arrangement. Companies are listed by the number of employees as reported in the most recent Dun & Bradstreet Million Dollar Directory or from data from the company.
