I wonder what they define as entrepreneur, and I wonder what the employment statistics are in these states for women as non-entrepreneurs.
I know a lot of "business owners" in Ohio that are doing etsy stores, or in worst case MLM stuff. Both market heavily towards women as Ohio doesn't have great professional opportunities for women. Most companies they worked for had little to no maternity leave, so it was a matter of necessity for their family that they figured out something outside of traditional employment.
- themagician 8y agoMLM is it’s own world of garbage, but what’s wrong having an Etsy store? How does that make you less of a “business owner”? I would very much consider someone with an Etsy store an entrepreneur, doubly so if they can sustain themselves from that channel alone. Most entrepreneurs don’t get 8-figure exits.
- codemac 8y agoI didn't say it made them less of a business owner.. though I don't know any that sustain themselves from that alone. I was saying a lot of people I know do these things even though they'd rather have a job as an employee. So I was curious what the employment stats for women were in these areas and if they'd confirm this hypothesis. But my coments on second read probably are my own misunderstanding.
