The 2025 State of the Sector of Worker Cooperative and Democratic Workplaces is a report on worker cooperatives and democratic workplaces in the United States, co-produced by the Democracy at Work Institute and the U.S. Federation of Worker Cooperatives. The report draws upon data collected through the Enterprise Census of Worker Cooperatives and Democratic Workplaces, based on data from Fiscal Year 2024.
The census is the only national, comprehensive opportunity to capture trends across worker cooperatives an democratic workplaces, and is conducted every two years. The State of the Sector Report is one of the best tools we have to show the growth and strength of our movement.
