What do you prefer: Entrepreneurship or Job - Job? "We no longer have to ask about the role that women have in contributing to world economic development. Women entrepreneurs statistics show that women now account for 40% of the workforce in more than 80 states and control more than $20 trillion in annual spending. Predictions are that this number will go up to $28 trillion in the next few years." Personally, I believe that now more than ever is the time for women to create ...and control their own path to success and for many of us, it's through entrepreneurship. https://whattobecome.com/bl/women-entrepreneurs-statistics/
