From the Paper:

"In the United States, the main vehicle for employee ownership in a company is the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that first became a recognized plan in 1974. There are between 17 and 20 million U. S. employees participating in large ESOPs or other contribution plans holding stock. Employees may own stock directly in their companies through stock purchase programs or be members of work cooperatives."
