In the 1970s, women began to enter the workforce in record numbers. They had few role models for advancement and limited career expectations. A lot has changed. Today, nearly half of all workforce participants are women. The majority of undergraduate and master's degrees are awarded to women and there are nearly as many women in middle management as men.
Women are ready to take their place at the top in corporate America.
Frequently, the key corporate decision maker is a woman, and the number of women-owned businesses is on the rise. What's more, women influence the vast majority of consumer purchases. National and workforce demographics are changing. America has become a nation of dual-earner families. Our population is aging, and our pool of available skilled people is older, increasingly diverse, and shrinking.
