In celebration of Women’s History Month, the National Women’s Business Council (NWBC) is hosting an online “fireside chat” featuring Chair Liz Sara and Council Member Nicole Cober from noon-1 p.m. CDT March 31.
The free discussion will highlight key trends in women’s business enterprise and cover notable, free resources to help you start and scale your business.
Women own or co-own 45% of all businesses in the U.S., according to the NWBC, which is an independent federal advisory committee established to provide advice and policy recommendations to the president, Congress and the U.S. Small Business Administration on issues related to women’s business enterprise.
These businesses represent a wide range of industries and are owned by women from all walks of life. The majority are small, with great potential for growth in both revenues and job creation.
Women also represent a significant portion of the employees in the accounts receivable management industry. In fact, the majority of bill and account collectors are female and more likely to be people of color than their peers in other industries, according to new research from ACA International in partnership with Kaulkin Ginsberg.
Women also make up a high percentage of collection agents when compared to the work force.
According to 2020 data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Current Population Survey, which studies trends in the labor force, 66% of bill and account collectors identified as female. In contrast, women made up just 47% of total workers, ACA previously reported. ACA members may read more on the research here.
