Welcome to Corporate Profit Freedom Day

Welcome!

This is a new website designed to reveal something that is not often talked about the press, politics and certainly not in economics.  That is, just how much of the work you do every year goes not to you, but to the profits of corporations, big business and the wealthiest people.  You know: corporate profits.

How much of the year you must work to make the wealthy wealthier?  We start on January 1st and "Corporate Profit Freedom Day" is the last day of the year you must work to feed corporate profits and the wealthy's lavish lifestyles for that year.

Since this is an effort to calculate something that does not seem to have been calculated before, it is certain that there will be some mistakes, and constructive critique is welcome.  As such, this new statistic, Corporate Profit Freedom Day, should be considered, as they say in software design, a "beta" version.  In other words, it will be refined over time.

Since preliminary estimates show that Corporate Profit Freedom Day is coming up soon, there will be an announcement of this impending date very shortly.

Thanks for reading!
