Women-owned Firms

Women-owned firms produce employment for more than 23 million people in the United States, or 16% of our 2011 workforce.

Approximately 8% of the total labor force work directly for a woman-owned firm.

There are 150 countries with less population than the number of people women-owned firms employ directly.

If U.S.-based women-owned businesses were their own country, they would have the 5th largest GDP in the world, trailing closely behind Germany, and ahead of countries like France, United Kingdom and Italy.

If U.S.-based women-owned businesses were their own country, they would have a greater GDP than Canada, India and Vietnam combined.
