What is a cooperatives?
Cooperatives are businesses organized by people to provide needed goods and services. They are owned by the people who use their services and provide economic benefits to their members. At United Cooperative, we distribute all profits back to our patron members.
There are four types of cooperatives: consumer, producer, worker, and purchasing/shared services.
There are 29,284 cooperatives in the United States with a total revenue of more than $654 billion and an income of $133 billion. These cooperatives employ more than two million people and pay $75 billion in wages.
