Women on the Rise

Daunting Realities. Although history has seen some significant progress for women over the last century, there’s still a long way to go toward financial equality. Women make 83.6 cents for every dollar their male counterparts make in a similar job. (1) The average Social Security retired worker benefit for women is $20,562 per year, compared with $25,277 for men. (2) 57% of women feel they are behind where they should be with their retirement savings. (3)

Enormous Potential. The truth is, women wield a huge amount of influence over the economy, and their impact is only likely to grow. Women are expected to inherit $30 trillion in financial assets by 2030. (3) 41% of small businesses that employ people are operated by women. (5) Women hold 29% of C-Suite positions in corporate America, up from 17% in 2015. (4)

Increasing Impact. The numbers don’t lie: more women are successfully founding and leading businesses than ever, with impressive results. In 2024, 49% of all new U.S. businesses were started by women—a record high. (6) In 2024, 52 Fortune 500 companies were run by women. (6) Women own over 12+ million businesses and employ over 10+ million Americans. (6)
