Keep America Working: Women Building Hiring Infrastructure

This project reframes women's entrepreneurship as economic infrastructure, showing how women-led businesses create hiring capacity, stabilize communities, and sustain the economy as corporations shed jobs

As corporations lay off more than 277,000 workers, prevailing narratives still position women as seeking access to corporate jobs. Keep America Working flips this framing by demonstrating that women are not waiting for employment opportunities, they are creating them. Through this initiative, 20,000 women-led businesses will build hiring capacity, proving that women's entrepreneurship is not an alternative economic path but essential infrastructure. When women build businesses, they create the conditions for hiring and economic stability.
