2016 is a big year for American women. Last month, Hillary Clinton became the first woman to receive a major party nomination for president in the United States. But does her nomination mean all restrictions on woman and their careers are gone? The term “glass ceiling” is often used to describe an unseen barrier that stops women and minorities from moving up in their careers. American small business owners said in an opinion survey that the glass ceiling remains in place, even with Hillary Clinton running for president. Bank of America contacted 1,001 business owners from across the country for their opinion on the issue. Seventy-seven percent of the women, and 56 percent of the men said they believe the barrier still exists for some women and members of minority groups.
