Overview
The Burning Glass Institute created a report called the American Opportunity Index that looks at 250 of the biggest companies in America. The report acts like a report card, showing which companies are good at helping their workers get promoted and advance in their careers. They worked with the Schultz Family Foundation and Harvard Business School to study how well these companies create opportunities for their employees to move up and earn more money. The index helps people understand which employers invest in their workers' growth and which ones don't. This research is important because it shows workers which companies might be better places to build a career. It also helps companies see how they compare to others when it comes to supporting worker advancement. The report and interactive index are available online for anyone to explore and download.
