Today, as our nation works to overcome unprecedented COVID-19 challenges, we pause to recognize and celebrate America’s bold and intelligent businesswomen who will serve as trailblazers for future generations. Fearless women nationwide have experienced historic levels of economic empowerment thanks to Republican-led, pro-growth policies. On this American Business Women’s Day, we’re reminded that the #GreatAmericanComeback would not be possible without their leadership, grit, and determination.

In case you missed it, the White House issued a Presidential Message today in honor of American Business Women’s Day:

… America’s workforce is strengthened by the talents and contributions of these exceptional mothers, daughters, and sisters who serve as business owners, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and leaders. …

When women are economically empowered, they reinvest in their families and communities, creating a multiplier effect that spurs economic growth and strengthens the very fabric of our Nation. Last year, the unemployment rate for women reached its lowest level since 1953, and for the first time in the history of our Nation, women made up a majority of the labor force. Today, a record number of women are leading Fortune 500 companies, and countless more own their own businesses, generating more than a trillion dollars in revenue each year. As our country continues its economic comeback from the coronavirus pandemic, these female-led businesses are critical to rebuilding communities by creating jobs for millions of Americans, while also providing essential services to affected areas. …

This American Business Women’s Day, we recommit to ensuring that our economy is a place where all women can thrive. We must continue to empower and to promote women in the workplace, because investing in women, is investing in a future of economic growth and prosperity for all.
