The disparity between minority and non-minority women is increasing. From 2014 to 2019, the average revenue for women-of-color-owned businesses shrank, with the exception of Asian women-owned businesses. In 2014, minority-owned businesses averaged $67,800 in revenue; by 2019 the average had dropped to $65,800. In 2014, non-minority women-owned businesses averaged $198,500 in revenue; by 2019, the average had jumped to $218,800.
The disparity has an enormous effect on the U.S. economy. Four million new jobs and $981 billion in revenue would be added if average revenue of minority women-owned firms matched that of white women-owned businesses.
