Welcome to American Jobs Factory! We secure jobs and empower communities through employees-owned businesses.

At American Jobs Factory, we believe that jobs are the backbone of America, and that every job should do more than simply pay a wage; it should strengthen families, communities, and the future of our nation. Since 2015, we’ve been building a new model of work that puts people before profits and delivers meaningful opportunity for workers and employers alike. We Stand For Human-Centered Jobs. We champion work that is rewarding, dignified, and financially empowering.

What Makes Us Different?

True Employee Ownership: Most of the equity in the companies we support is held by employees, creating a culture of shared success.
Attractive Jobs & Benefits: Our goal is to provide jobs that go beyond survival wages, jobs that offer real benefits, wealth-building opportunities, and a sense of purpose.
Sustainable Growth: We invest in businesses that prioritize long-term growth and community impact over short-term profits.
A Better Future for Workers: From competitive compensation to shared decision-making and innovation, employee-owned companies tend to have higher engagement, loyalty, and retention.

OUR Founder — Daniel Ayerzon

Daniel Ayerzon is an entrepreneur and business strategist dedicated to building companies that create prosperity for both people and communities.

Early in his career at Citibank, working in the foreclosure department, Daniel witnessed firsthand the human impact of financial decisions. The experience shaped his belief that strong business performance and human dignity should never be at odds.

He later expanded his expertise at Intuit, where he developed deep experience in systems, scalability, and operational strategy. Known for his ability to identify structural weaknesses and redesign organizations for long-term success, Daniel earned a reputation as a strategic “business whisperer.”

Through American Jobs Factory, he now focuses on helping transform businesses into employee-owned companies that generate quality jobs, shared wealth, and stronger local economies.

His mission is clear: build businesses where employees have a stake, communities thrive, and success is measured not only by profit, but by lasting impact.
