About us
The American Opportunity Index is a groundbreaking ranking of how well companies maximize their internal talent to drive business performance and individual employee growth. Unlike most measures of employer performance, the Index is based on real world outcomes, assessing the progress of millions of workers by tracking the progress of their individual careers. The Index measures hiring and promotion practices, pay, race-and-gender fairness, and culture. This ranking is rooted in the belief that when employers enable the full potential of their people—by providing good jobs and opportunities for advancement—their business does better. In recognizing the companies where workers and firms thrive symbiotically, and showing the areas where each company can continue to improve, we seek to spark a new focus on sustainable talent management across American businesses. The American Opportunity Index is a joint project of the Schultz Family Foundation, Burning Glass Institute, and the Managing the Future of Work Project at Harvard Business School.

But there are firms across all sectors bucking that trend. We also found that companies in the building-and-construction, auto manufacturing, chemicals, freight-and-logistics, and packaging industries are among the best at giving workers promotions.

Where you work matters. After more than 40 years at Starbucks, I've learned that success is best when it's shared. This belief led to a crucial question: Which companies in America are truly delivering value for both shareholders and their people? That's why the Schultz Family Foundation, alongside the The Burning Glass Institute and Harvard Business School, created the American Opportunity Index—a tool that measures how companies create economic mobility for their people—helping both companies and job seekers make better decisions about their future. The data shows something powerful: when companies invest in their workforce, everyone wins. I want to hear from you: Is your company on the list? How have they contributed to your success and shaped your career? Share your story below.
