How we build the Index

The Index in the news

“At Chipotle, our employees are our greatest asset and we believe in investing in their careers by offering opportunities for advancement, as well as robust benefits that address physical, mental and financial health. Developing our people is paramount to running great restaurants and it is an honor to be the leading hospitality company recognized by the American Opportunity Index.”

Brian Niccol

Chairman and CEO, Chipotle

“This quantification of employment outcomes has revolutionary potential for workers choosing where to apply, managers improving their performance and third parties evaluating social impact.”

Oren Cass

Opinion Columnist, Financial Times

“Understanding how companies provide opportunity and mobility, as compared to their peers in corporate America, has been elusive territory to date. Having common benchmarks through this Index will allow companies to reflect on where they are strong and where they might focus more intentional efforts.”

Laura Thompson Love

Partner, Grads of Life

“The American Opportunity Index makes clear the power and value of comprehensive education benefits programs that include offerings like no cost degrees, upskilling and reskilling programs, student loan repayment programs, and non-degree credentialing.”

Dr. Jill Buban

VP & General Manager, EdAssist by Bright Horizons

“We are especially honored to be named to this important list that highlights opportunity, because this recognition is based on data driven outcomes and results, not just ideas and sentiment.”
