Research Summary. Women have worked their way through the ranks of the professional world to represent well over half of the US workforce. Yet, they continue to hold a vastly smaller percentage of leadership positions than men in various sectors.
For women of color, the climb to be equally represented in leadership roles has been even more laggard. While today’s statistics about women in leadership show improvement from years past, there’s much more work to be done.
- Women represent 58.4% of the US workforce as of September 2022 but only held 35% of senior leadership positions
- According to one study, companies with women executives are 30% more likely to outperform other companies
- 8.8% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women
- Less than 1% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women of color
- Women represent 50.5% of medical students in the United States but only account for 36.3% of doctors as of 2019
