Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–June 10, 2014. At an event featuring Small Business Administration Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet, the Center for American Progress today released a new report exploring how women of color are a principal force within the U.S. entrepreneurship community and how their success is vital to the U.S. economy. The report lays out the current landscape of women of color entrepreneurs, explores the factors in the traditional workplace that push women of color to start their own businesses, and offers recommendations in order to ensure this vital segment of our population continues to pursue entrepreneurship and thrives. With U.S. Bureau of the Census projections predicting women of color will make up the majority of all women by 2045, the success of entrepreneurial women of color, breaking down of barriers to entrepreneurship, and supporting more equity in the workplace has become vital.
