WHY is GREEN GOOD for WOMEN?
The emerging green economy is shaping employment opportunities across the country. It is increasing the demand for,
and changing the requirements of, existing occupations while generating brand new occupations. Green jobs are
diverse, rewarding and overwhelmingly nontraditional to women.
Women have made great strides in some male-dominated occupations, yet they still represent only a small portion of
the workers in green occupations. For example, women represent only 1.7 percent of electricians; 3.7 percent of
locomotive engineers and operators; 16 percent of industrial production managers; and 5.5 percent of first-line
supervisors/managers of mechanics, installers, and repairers. Workers in these jobs retrofit buildings, design and
operate environmentally-friendly transportation technologies, and help produce wind and solar power.
Targeted efforts on the part of policymakers, funders, employers, workforce professionals, training and education
providers, and advocates are needed to ensure that women recognize the opportunity presented by green occupations,
and are able to fully participate in and benefit from the new green economy.
Seven Reasons for Women to Consider a Green Job:
1. A green job can provide the chance to earn more
2. Women can start with any skill level
3. Green jobs appeal to workers with a diversity of skills and interests
4. There are multiple ways to get started in a green job
5. Green job opportunities are available for workers of any age
6. Green jobs can give women greater satisfaction
7. Green employers are looking to hire

Missouri Office of Equal Opportunity
Part of Missouri’s Office of Administration, the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO), exists to promote a diversified workforce within
state government and to assist women and minorities in developing opportunities to contract with the state, economically empowering
traditionally underserved communities and improving the overall fiscal vitality of the State of Missouri.
To Serve as a resource for promoting diversity within the state workforce and improving the opportunities for women and minorities to
access state employment opportunities and state contracts through excellent service and efficient use of resources. OEO works toward
this goal by completing the following primary functions: Certification of Minority/Women Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE), Education,
and Outreach, and Matchmaking Activities.
Office of Equal Opportunity Resources:
 Directory of Certified MBE/WBE Vendors
 Listing of Current Bidding Opportunities
 Essential Resources for New & Existing Businesses
 Online Procurement Staff Directories
 OEO Certification Staff Members

WBE/MBE Certification
What is a MBE or WBE?
A Minority Business Enterprises is a business that is at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more minority persons. A Woman Business
Enterprise is a business that is at least 51% owned and controlled by a woman. A racial minority is, for the purposes of the State of Missouri’s
MBE program, defined as individuals who are Black, American Indian, Hispanic, Asian American and other similar racial minority groups as per
Missouri Revised Statutes Chapter 33 Section 33.750. Also included are Alaskan Natives, Pacific Islanders, and Aleuts. A complete list is provided on page 2 of our Policies and Procedures Manual located on the links of interest page.
May I qualify as both; an MBE and WBE?
Only women who also fall into one of the racial or ethnic categories can qualify for classification as both a minority and woman-owned business enterprise M/WBE. A woman and a minority cannot share ownership of a company to qualify for both as one individual must hold 51%
ownership. The following requisites must also be met:
 Own 51% of the enterprise
 Control the business
 Have requisite expertise
 Be a U.S. citizen or lawfully admitted permanent resident.
What are the advantages of obtaining the State of Missouri MBE/WBE certification?
Certification as an MBE and/or WBE provides greater opportunities for these businesses to bid on state contracts. All certified MBE/WBE vendors appear on the Office of Equal Opportunity Directory of Certified MBE/WBE Vendors. Both contractors and state agencies use this site as a
resource in soliciting certified minority and/or female participation for ongoing projects. This certification covers all state agencies except for
the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), which participates in the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program.
What if a question in the certification application does not apply to me?
Please write not applicable (N/A) and include an explanation.
Is my business automatically certified with the State of Missouri if I am certified with another state?
No. You must go through the State of Missouri’s certification process to become certified. It is important to note, however, approval is not
guaranteed and each case is reviewed on its individual merits. The requirements for certification vary from state to state, so the easiest way to
discover if your certification qualifies is to contact your individual state’s MBE/WBE/DBE Program.
Is my business automatically certified if I am certified as an MBE/WBE with another Missouri certifying entity?
No. Missouri-based businesses may gain accreditation by providing a current certificate from one of the following approved certifying entities
listed. You must apply to Office of Equal Opportunity for MBE/WBE Certification through the Rapid Response Process. This process requires
minimal additional documentation and can be completed in a shorter time frame than the Standard In-State Certification. Some of those approved certifying entities include:
* The Missouri Regional Certification Committee (which includes MoDOT, Metrolink, Kansas City Area Transportation Authority (KCATA), Lambert International Airport/City of Saint Louis, City of Kansas City Missouri KCHRD, Mid-America Regional Council, East-West Gateway Council
of Governments)
*The National Women Business Owners Corporation (NWBOC) www.nwboc.org
*The Saint Louis Minority Business Council (SLMBC) www.mambdc.org and the Mid-America Business Development Council www.slmbc.org
OEO does not guarantee certification approval and reserves the right to make a determination based on the review of each individual
submission.
What help is available with the application process?
If you need help with the application process please call our office at 1-877-259-2963 or 573-751-8130, we will be happy to assist you.
Is there an application fee?
No. This service is provided free of charge as a benefit from the state of Missouri.
How long does the certification process take?
Standard process for Missouri based businesses takes approximately 45-60 days from the day that the application becomes complete (All requested documentation must be included to proceed to the next stage). An on-site visit must be conducted and a final review is necessary to
evaluate whether your firm qualifies in meeting program guidelines. Out of State and Rapid applications might take less processing time.
What does an on-site visit entail?
An on-site visit is a verbal and visual verification of the MBE/WBE owner’s ability to fulfill certification requirements. There is no need for
preparation; the interviewer will bring the MBE/WBE’s file to the visit. Any additional documentation that may be needed can be provided onsite or gathered for later submission. This visit also allows the applicant an opportunity to get acquainted with program staff, ask questions
specific to their individual circumstances or needs and voice concerns.
May I bid on state projects prior to my certification?
Yes. Your MBE/WBE status does not preclude you from bidding on state contracts or bidding with prime contractors for subcontracts. Certification is not necessary for doing business with the State of Missouri, however MBE/WBE certification, carries with it significant advantages,
especially for smaller, less-established firms.
Do the participation targets remain constant in all contracts?
No. Executive Order 05-30 establishes that "all state agencies shall continue to make every feasible effort to target the percentage of goods
and services procured from certified MBEs and WBEs to 10% and 5%, respectively." The Division of Purchasing and Materials Management
(DPMM) and Facilities Management, Design and Construction (FMDC) have the authority to set target recommendations for each project
based on the availability of MBE and WBE firms to perform the work.
What types of contracting opportunities are available with the State of Missouri?
There are various types of opportunities for contracting with the State of Missouri, and these opportunities change constantly. For the most
recent listing of available opportunities please visit, http://www.oa.mo.gov/purch/vendorinfo/upbidops.html for subcontracting opportunities
or https://www.moolb.mo.gov/BidList/bidbytype.asp?bidnum=0&rtype=agcyo for a listing of bids available by agency.
How does the State of Missouri keep track of the participation of an MBE/WBE in a contract?
As a requirement of the contracts the prime contractor must submit payment verification forms to the Department of Purchasing and Materials Management every month. These forms are utilized by DPMM to keep track of the MBE/WBE participation on each contract. These forms
are available for public viewing at http://www.imageweb.oa.mo.gov/acordeweb/Client/Framework.asp.
How can suspected abuse of the MBE/WBE program be reported?
Reports of fraud and abuse or if there are third parties who have reason to believe that an enterprise has been wrongfully granted certification, either as an MBE/WBE or joint venture, they may file a third party challenge with OEO. Challenges by third parties are not considered an
appeal. Any allegations of suspected abuse of Missouri’s MBE/WBE program or to obtain forms to report the suspected abuse, please call OEO
via our toll-free hotline at 1-877-259-2963.
How will MBE/WBE contract compliance be monitored?
If there is a complaint about the performance of an MBE/WBE, the Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) has authority to conduct on-site inspections and an administrative review of a certified firm at any time without prior notification. If for any reason a minority or women-owned subcontractor is not performing in accordance with the requirements of their contract, the prime contractor may request permission to remove or
substitute that particular MBE and/or WBE with another certified business. The prime contractor must first however notify OEO of their intent
to remove an MBE and/or WBE subcontractor during the course of the contract. Supporting documentation must be furnished by the prime
contractor stating the reasons why the participating business should be removed. OEO may then schedule a meeting with all parties to discuss
the potential removal of the MBE/WBE subcontractor/supplier. It will be the responsibility of OEO to recommend disqualification after the
review process.
For more information, please contact the Office of Equal Opportunity at 877-259-2963 or visit www.oeo.mo.gov.

Women and the Labor Force
Women’s participation in labor force activities has greatly expanded since the end of World War II. Immediately following the war, less than one-third of women were in the labor force. However, women soon began to
participate in greater numbers, and their labor force participation rose rapidly from the 1960s through the
1980s before slowing in the 1990s. Women reached the peak of their labor force participation in 1999, with a
rate of 60.0 percent. Since then labor force participation among women has declined , to 57.12 percent in 2013,
which is still relatively high by historical standards, particularly among women with children. In addition, a
large share of women work full time and year round. Over time women have increasingly attained higher levels
of education: among women ages 25 - 64 who are in the labor force, the proportion with a college degree more
than tripled from 1970 to 2013. Women’s earnings as a proportion of men’s earnings also have grown over
time. In 1979, women working full time earned 62 percent of what men earned; in 2013 women’s earnings
were 82 percent of men’s.
Educational Attainment
The educational attainment of women ages 25 to 64 in the labor force has risen substantially over the past 40
years. In 2013, 39 percent of this group held college degrees, compared with 11 percent in 1970. About 6 percent of women had less than a high school diploma (that is, did not graduate from high school) in 2013, down
from 34 percent in 1970.
Occupation and Industry
In 2013, women accounted for 51 percent of all workers employed in management, professional, and related
occupations, somewhat more than their share of total employment (47 percent). The share of women in specific occupations within this large category varied. For example, 20 percent of software developers and 33 percent of lawyers were women, whereas 62 percent of accountants and auditors and 81 percent of elementary
and middle school teachers were women. In 2013, women accounted for more than half of all workers than
half of all workers within several industry sectors: financial activities (53 percent), education and health services
(75 percent), leisure and hospitality (51 percent), and other services (52 percent). However, women were substantially underrepresented (relative to their share of total employment) in agriculture (24 percent), mining (13
percent), construction (12 percent), manufacturing (9 percent), and transportation and utilities (24 percent).
Earnings
In 2013, women who worked full time in wage and salary jobs had median weekly earnings of $706, which represented 82 percent of men’s median weekly earnings ($860). In 2013, female full-time wage and salary workers
ages 25 or older with only a high school diploma had median usual weekly earnings of $573. which represented
83 percent of the earnings of women with an associate’s degree ($693) and 55 percent of the earnings of women
with a bachelor’s degree or higher ($1,043). Median usual weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers
were the highest in 2013 for female chief executives ($1,811), pharmacists ($1,802), and lawyers ($1,566). In
2013, 5.4 percent of all women (approximately 2.1 million women) paid at an hourly rate had earnings at or below the prevailing federal minimum wage ($7.25 per hour). Among women 25 years and older who were paid at
an hourly wage, 3.4 percent had earnings at or below the minimum wage, compared with 13.3 percent of women
ages 16 to 24.

Women in High-Tech Jobs
In the past decade, “High-tech” jobs have shown substantial growth. Women, therefore, need to recognize
that “high-tech” occupations offer high pay and should receive serious consideration as career choices.
Projections for future growth indicate that computers, software, and applications for information technology will continue to have a large impact on employment opportunities.
Use of the Internet and wireless technologies has exploded, creating phenomenal growth and new challenges for manufacturers of this equipment. “High-tech,” however, goes beyond computers, software, and
the Internet. A broad spectrum of industries and occupations are considered “high-tech”, a term used to
describe industries, occupations and products in which cutting-edge, state-of-the-art technologies are used
to shape the design, development, and introduction of new products and innovative production processes.
As “high-tech” firms systematically apply scientific & technical knowledge to problem solving, they conduct
a substantial amount of research & development. Therefore, many of their employees must have a scientific, technical or engineering background.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics* describes “high-tech” occupations as scientific, engineering, and technician
occupations, such as: computer & mathematical scientists; engineers; life & physical scientists; mathematical specialists; engineering & science technicians; computer specialists; and engineering, scientific & computer managers. Individuals employed in these occupations are collectively referred to as technologyoriented workers and require in-depth knowledge of the theories and principles of science, engineering,
and mathematics acquired through post-secondary specialized education ranging from an associates degree
to a doctorate.
There are also high-tech aspects of many other occupations, such as
workers who operate and repair products used in high-tech industries.
These include computer and office machine repairers, aircraft pilots, and
radiological technologists and technicians. Most of these occupations require an associate degree or higher. For some, certification by hardware
and software producers is a substitute for formal education.
Estimates for the year 2014, developed by BLS*, project that high-tech
employment will reach 9.7 million jobs—roughly 6 percent of the 164 million total persons employed in non-farm wage and salary jobs. In 2004,
median weekly earnings for workers in technology-oriented occupations
ranged between $526-$1,878. The average of $1,156 was more than the
median for all occupations ($726). Between the 2004-2014 period, the
number of network systems & data communication analysts is projected
to increase by one-fourth, adding nearly 119,000 jobs. High technology
growth will account for almost 4% of all projected growth during the period.

education to young men and women. The military environment allows our cadets to learn and practice the basics of

rigorous, intellectual pursuits. At William Jewell College,
students are prepared to think critically and adapt in a rapidly changing and complex world. As a national liberal arts
college, William Jewell emphasizes “liberal” learning, meaning to liberate the mind, think independently, respect differences, connect ideas, and challenge assumptions. This
approach to teaching and learning is reflected in all areas of
study and experience-based activities. With traditional majors, interdisciplinary fields of study, dual-degrees, preprofessional programs and self-designed majors, William
Jewell allows students to personalize their educational experience to develop their own interests and passions.

Missouri Connections is a comprehensive, online, career development and planning program that is provided free
of charge to all Missouri citizens. Funded by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
and the Missouri Division of Workforce Development, this program supports the career development efforts of
schools, community organizations, and adult job seeker programs. Missouri Connections helps individuals learn
about their talents, skills, and interests and makes the connection between planning for continued education and
the work world.
Missouri Connections is produced by intoCareers, an outreach at the University of Oregon College of Education.
First introduced in Oregon in 1971, Career Information System, CIS is now used by 19 states as their official statewide career information delivery system. This 19-state non-profit consortium, known as the CIS Network, serves
millions of people annually. Due to growing interest in the program from educational and employment institutions outside of the CIS Network, introCareers has also created a new version of Missouri Connections that is
available nationwide.
Missouri Connections promotes lifelong learning and includes assessment, career and college planning and financial aid resources. It is appropriate for middle schools, high schools, post-secondary institutions, as well as for
agencies serving adult populations, such as employment offices, vocational rehabilitation programs and correctional facilities.
Missouri Connections is updated and enhanced year round. To use Missouri Connections, an institution or agency
must purchase a site license. This license provides one year of unlimited use of the system.
