Women-Owned Firms Have
Huge Impact
U.S. businesses owned by women have an economic impact of $3 trillion annually. That translates into the creation or maintenance of 16% of all jobs in the country, according to the Center for Women's Business Research. If U.S.-based women-owned businesses were their own country, it would have the fifth-largest GDP in the world.
Well we could have told you that!
Just back from visiting our Boston colleague and had the real pleasure of being a guest lecturer at Emerson College. My good pal from Harvard Business School Press, Michelle Morgan invited me to come in and speak to her students about Hooks Book Events. Three hours later.. I had some new ideas for my business as well as few new booksellers to add to our growing Boston list.
Keep shopping with the ladies!
