In 2006, 27 of the top-fifty firms attributed as "women-owned" may have male CEOs. These (and other top 50 companies in 2005, 2007, and 2008) show similar miss-attribution.” I am appalled by the ... sheer gall of erroneously designating billions of dollars in contracts ..." said Margot Dorfman, CEO of the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce. "The Bush Administration has failed to come close to meeting the decade old goal for contracting with women-owned firms. And instead of telling American women the truth, has manipulated the federal data reporting system to try and hide their failures. ... We will not let them hide any longer.” In 1994, the federal government established a paltry goal of five percent for contracting with women-owned firms. ... Women are now the majority owners of twenty-nine percent of all firms in America Even with this growth, and ownership of nearly one-third of all businesses in America , the federal government has failed to provide women with fair access to federal contracts. While total federal spending grew from $200 billion in 1999 to over $340 billion in 2006 — an increase of $140B — spending with women-owned firms increased only $5 billion.READ THE REPORTS !!!!!!!!See http://www.uswcc.org/report.pdfand www.uswcc.org/report2.pdf.
