Some sharing economy companies have struggled with local governments and existing employers, like taxicab companies. WeWork's had the opposite experience.

WeWork, by contrast, hasn't had these problems, making it"unique" compared to peers in other industries, co-president Artie Minson told Business Insider in a recent interview.

"We're certainly one of the few sharing economy companies that were welcomed with open arms in all markets," he said."Mayors like us, neighborhoods like us, frankly employees like us, employers like us, . Those are all qualities that certainly some of the other sharing economy companies are challenged with at times."A survey released on Monday — WeWork's first"global impact report" — quantified some of the benefits WeWork said it brings to members and economies alike. WeWork said it contributes $74.8 billion to global GDP, including $31.5 billion in New York alone.
