Walmart Highlights Economic Mobility for Women

Helping Women In the U.S.
We have also been working to help U.S. women from low income households improve their employment skills. The Walmart Foundation provided support and training for more than 200,000 since the launch of our Global Women’s Economic Empowerment Initiative. Some of this work has been accomplished through programs aimed at the retail sector, such as our funding of the Chicago Cook County Workforce Partnerships. This work to enhance economic mobility in retail is particularly important to women, since over 50 percent of retail workers in the U.S. are women.
