A new infographic from the National Federation of Independent Business, Chase, and the Center for Women's Business Research looks at "challenges women owned businesses (WOBs) faced during the recession and how they have adapted their business practices." According to the graphic, many more WOBs are using social media now than they were pre-recession, and many are now hiring again, though they have, on average, a lower headcount now than they did before.
