How Much Are Self-Employed Women in Business Earning?

The study reported that self-employed women largely fell into two income brackets at complete opposite ends of the earning spectrum. Specifically, self-employed women were “most likely to be either in the first (lowest) or fourth (highest) quartile.”

What is the Average Age of Self-Employed Women Entrepreneurs?
