The UK stats on employee ownership keep impressing year after year with no sign of slowing down.

When you make selling to your employees economically viable, it - unsurprisingly - turns out to be a pretty popular option.

Well, however understated these wealth figures are they can serve as a useful basis for creating new wealth concentration figures (top 0.1%) - like the PBO has undertaken previously.

StatsCan still shows no interest in doing this work themselves.
