Deb Markowitz: putting Vermonters first with a comprehensive economic plan

By Lisa McIntire on 08/03/2010 @ 02:00 PM

Tags: Deb Markowitz, VT-Gov, Economy

Politicians certainly like to talk about what they're going to do about the economic crisis, but Deb Markowitz stands out for having a real, viable plan for what she'll do for Vermont as governor: expand the economy and create new jobs by focusing on her state's most promising industries. Deb's plan came from her Jobs Tour of Vermont, when she did something else pretty remarkable: truly listened to the concerns of business owners and what they need to get back on their feet.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined many of our women in the House at a press conference this week, speaking about the importance of job creation legislation and calling out Senate Republicans who are obstructing forward movement.

Why women are the 'new sheriffs of Wall Street'

By Emily on 05/17/2010 @ 04:44 PM

Tags: Economy, Women leaders

In case you missed it, there was a really great article in TIME last week about how women leaders are changing the way Wall Street works. Asking "What if women ran Wall Street?" the article describes the tough road women still face in reaching the top echelons of the financial industry -- but how the ones who have made it are making a big impact. (Worth noting: Currently, just 3% of Fortune 500 companies employ a woman as CEO...)
