In the Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington metro area, 5.6 percent of female workers are entrepreneurs. Their adjusted median income is higher than the state average at $42,694, which puts the Philadelphia area at No. 20 out of the large metros in the country with the most successful female entrepreneurs.
