While African Americans make up 10% of college graduates, there are only 4 black CEOs at Fortune 500 companies, study finds.
The national survey was conducted online and over the phone in June 2019 among 3,736 respondents between the ages of 21 and 65 currently employed full time or self-employed in white-collar professions, with at least a bachelor’s degree.
“The results are a reflection of society and the systemic racism that exists,” Jain-Link said. “There is a lot to be done. There has to be a self-audit. Often blacks are asked to solve their own problems. . . If you’re not black and you engage in a conversation with somebody who is and they tell you about their experience, listen.
“While 65 percent of black professionals say it’s harder for black employees to advance,” Julia Taylor Kennedy, another researcher on the report, said, “only 16 percent of white professionals agree with that statement. Many white readers don’t realize how different the workplace is for black professionals and how much harder it is for them.”Which is a major part of the problem, according to Joseph B.
Hill is part of the recently formed D.E.E.P. — Diversity Equity Excellence Practice — a think tank comprised of 12 African American professionals with corporate diversity expertise who work to develop strategies for companies to improve diversity, inclusion, health equity and community engagement.
