Women: Second to none

Former Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao wrote in her report on Women Entrepreneurship in the 21st Century Conference, “Small business generates two-thirds of all new jobs in the United States, so it makes sense to focus on entrepreneurship and the bright, accomplished and hard-working women who are such an important part of it. Women entrepreneurs across America are second to none and willing to compete in any arena.”
