INVISION’S FIRST ANNUAL Big Survey found out a lot of interesting information about the American ECP… even our Canadian friends to the north weighed in. We started with the basics, and they did not disappoint! Want to know which state has the most female owners, or which one has the weirdest ECPs? Here are few quick takes from the 2019 survey:
Californian ECPs were the least likely to own their places of business, with 82 percent renting.
Kansans were most likely to be open on Sunday with one in four stores and practices open on this traditional “rest” day.
They don’t take kindly to strangers asking questions in South Dakota. South Dakota, Louisiana and New Mexico were the only states not represented in our survey.
Michigan ECPs are some of the hardest working in the industry: 25 percent work more than 50 hours a week.
Florida had the most male owners and managers in our survey at 76 percent. Washington state had the most female owners at 86 percent.
Connecticut was tops for self-declared weirdness with ECPs there giving themselves an average score of 8.2 out of 10 on our weirdness scale.
The 2019 Big Survey was conducted from August to October and attracted responses from more than 500 American ECPs. Look out for all the full results in the November/December issue of INVISION.
