Web Site Helps Women and Moms Find Home Business Ideas
BusinessWomen.org
offers free home business kit to women entrepreneurs
Nationwide
- Women have long been underrepresented in the business arena
and in leadership jobs. According to a recent Associated Press
article, more than half of all Fortune 500 companies in 2006
had fewer than three women corporate officers. In addition,
women held only 6.4 percent of the top earning job positions.
That
same article revealed that "women's progress in getting the
top jobs in American business is so slow that at the current
rate they are becoming corporate officers, it would take 40
years before women catch up with men."
While
many organizations are encouraging women to fight for their
workplace rights, BusinessWomen.org is encouraging women to
do something different: start their own businesses.
The web
site, which is produced by the National Association of Business
Women and Moms (NABWM) states: "Women are left with two choices:
They can either wait 40 years, or they can take the initiative
now to start their own business and gain control over the
situation."
Emphasizing
that there are already 10.4 million businesses in the United
States owned by women, NABWM encourages women to use their
web site as a resource, and as a mythbuster for false information
circulating that women and business do not mix. They can also
access a free home business kit available only to women.
