According to a study by the non profit center for Women Business Research and supported by, among others, Wal-Mart, the economic impact of women owned businesses is tremendous.
These businesses employ, are you sitting down, 23 million people- which is nearly double the number of the biggest 50 companies in the country combined, and is about 16% of the national workforce!!
And not only that: we generate over $3 trillion in revenue. This is where women are and where they go: they start and maintain businesses. They provide employment for others and they create revenue. These businesses ran the gamut of small operations to large multi million dollar affairs.
In fact if they were their own county, women-owned businesses would have the 5th largest world GDP.
Look around you: who do YOU know that runs a business? Pass on these statistics and BE proud of the economic and personal impact women owned businesses have on the United States.
