“This growth in women-owned businesses has paralleled increased contributions by women across the economy. Over the past 40 years women went from holding 37 percent of all jobs to nearly 50 percent. That’s nearly 40 million women who have contributed to workforce expansion and now account for 25 percent of all GDP. And while 76 percent of all American women are in the workforce there are other countries (e.g. Sweden with 87 percent) with higher percentages indicating there is still room for growth.”
