COVID Impact on Women’s Biz
A California Statewide report on the Covid-19 impact on Women-Owned Businesses shows that since March 2020, women-owned/led businesses have faced significant disadvantages compared to men-owned/led businesses in accessing critical resources for sustainability and success. Women of color and primary caregivers (predominantly women) particularly benefited less from available funding than other groups as well as juggling greater non-work related demands on their time. Read more on the findings in the full report.
Federal Reserve Survey
In 2021, the Federal Reserve System conducted a survey to better understand the range of challenges facing under-resourced communities as an effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings are available in Perspectives from Main Street: The Impact of COVID-19 on Communities and the Entities Serving Them.
In 2022, the Federal Reserve System and several national partners are again fielding this survey. Help fill out the survey by August 31, 2022.
