This study empirically estimates that worker ownership and participation modestly but importantly enhances the ability of firms to create ''mainstream'' employment in low-opportunity communities, both urban and rural. It is also associated with community development benefits not commonly provided by conventionally organized firms. In such forms as employee-owned firms and marketing cooperatives, worker ownership and participation should be more widely utilized in community development.
