October is National Women’s Small Business Month. The Committee on Small Business celebrates all entrepreneurs and wants to take time to recognize the 11.3 million women-owned businesses in the United States, which support almost 9 million jobs. Women-owned businesses generate $1.6 trillion in annual revenue and are starting five times faster than the national average. This is good news for our economic landscape.
In celebration of National Women’s Small Business Month, Chairman Chabot (R-OH) released the following statement:
“National Women’s Small Business Month is a time to recognize the achievements and advancements of women entrepreneurs, businesswomen, and leaders. Women owned small businesses comprise about 40 percent of the total businesses in the United States, and this number continues to grow. As the Small Business Committee Chairman, I look forward to seeing continued expansion of woman-owned small businesses, and barriers to entry consistently broken.”
