The NY Times article, As Layoffs Surge, Women May Pass Men in the Job Force discusses the growing role women play in the workforce.
As the graph below from the NY Times indicates, the share of jobs held by women has been growing steadily over the last few decades. This has been due to increased workforce participation rates by women.
The recession is also increasing the share of jobs held by women. Men are over represented in troubled industries (construction, manufacturing, etc.) and in the current recession men have suffered 82% of the job losses. Men currently have a much higher unemployment rate (7.6%, men 20 and older) than women (6.7%, women 20 and older).
Women are also starting more small businesses. According to the Center For Women's Business Research there are roughly 10.1 million women owned business in the U.S.
Some studies have shown that the link between the right and left hemispheres are more 'natural' for women. Imagine a stronger cross-integration between the creative-inductive part and the logical-deductive side. This can work wonders when one assumes the role of entrepreneur.

We put a special focus on empowering women and girls, because we believe they hold the key to long-lasting social change in communities. Empowering women must be a united approach, a cause that requires continued attention and stewardship by all. I heard one job portal http://naukriforwomen.com brought that revolution to bring women empowerment, the site which is totally dedicated to female job aspirants.

This trend of women gaining workforce market share as well as small business ownership percentages is not only socially-logical but also physiological (some research affirms, some contend).
Some studies have shown that the link between the right and left hemispheres are more 'natural' for women. Imagine a stronger cross-integration between the creative-inductive part and the logical-deductive side. This can work wonders when one assumes the role of entrepreneur.
