In 2021, less than 10% of CEOs at Fortune 500 companies were women. Five years prior, female executives only comprised 4.3% of the Fortune 500 CEO. The number is even strikingly lower for minority women. Even though statistics show that more women are obtaining higher degrees than men, with colleges and universities in the U.S. now enrolling roughly six women for every four men, women only earn 82 cents for every ＄1 man earns. Moreover, regarding salary negotiation, research shows that both men and women will judge a woman less favorably who asks for a higher starting salary than a man with the same credentials asking for the same salary.
And suppose you are thinking of starting a family. In that case, research shows that mothers were significantly less likely to be recommended for employment. When they were, they were offered ＄11,000 less in starting compensation, on average, than childless women, while men are not penalized for having a family.
This may sound discouraging and depressing that there are unspoken rules women must navigate to be successful in the workplace.
You are not alone if you are tired of being passed up for promotions and turned away from high leadership positions. So many women are fighting the same fight each day in all industries.
Hang in there. Help is at hand.
