U.S. Contracts for Firms Owned by Women
Program Aims to Help Women Get Their 5%

And yet not more than 3.4 per cent of such contracts go to the eligible firms. So American Express and a women’s organization have teamed up to help women-owned companies get their share, providing information on the program and instruction on how to apply.
