During the same penod, business receipts doubled from $36 to $72 billion. James Abdnor, Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA), in comm enting on the new figures, said, “ W omen-owned busi nesses are currently the fastest grow ing segment of the economy and I believe that what we are seeing today i is just the beginning. As these busi nesses mature, their share of the market and of total sales is also ex- | pected to increase." Between 1985 and 1986 the num ber and receipts of women-owned sole proprietorships increased by ten percent. The number of women-owned firms increased from 3.7 to 4.1 million and receipts increased from $65 to | $72 billion. Another plus is that women’s share I of all sole proprietorships and re- Iceipts also increased from 1985 lev- I els, from 28 percent to 30 percent and 112 to 13 percent respectively. Carol M.
