(Image: Courtesy of Suzanne Wylde) Over the last two trying years, we have seen a surprising-but-inspiring number of women starting up their own businesses. Our 1,000+ Stories Project has received entries from new business owners of all kinds -- life coaches helping their clients find peace and purpose in difficult times, jewelry designers creating one of-a-kind pieces, and newbie entrepreneurs debuting sustainable clothing lines and organic beauty products. There is a definite trend towards creative, artistic and purpose-driven companies, with consumer goods leading the way, followed by a mix of professional industries. Many women specifically mentioned that the pandemic influenced both their new careers as entrepreneurs and the products or services they offer. Here's our list of top industries* in a post-Covid world. *We ask women to select an industry from 20 industries when submitting stories to our 1,000+ Stories project. The list is based on submissions within the past 2 years, many of which are businesses that started since 2020. Top industries and trends for women business owners during the pandemic, drawn from data collected via The Story Exchange's 1,000+ Stories project. (Credit: Noel Flego)
