Emily Peck of the Huffington Post writes that women of color are woefully underrepresented at the executive levels in corporate America.
“Defined as black, Asian or Hispanic, women of color make up just 3 percent of executives in the C-suite at the 132 North American companies surveyed, which include JP Morgan Chase, Procter & Gamble, General Motors and Facebook. Yet, these women comprise 20 percent of the United States population. White women were also nowhere near parity in those high-level offices, but at 17 percent are doing much better by comparison.”
