Businesses owned by women less likely to win U.S. contracts, study shows
The New York Times: The odds of businesses owned by women winning a federal contract are about 21 percent lower than for otherwise similar companies, and years of efforts to increase those chances have barely made an impact, according to a new report from the Commerce Department. The report was released as the federal government started to change a program that was 5 years old last week yet has never met its goal of helping companies owned by women win at least 5 percent of federal contract dollars.
