Marillyn Hewson is one of just 33 women at the top of Fortune 500 companies. She’s chairwoman, president, and CEO of Lockheed Martin.
The United States ranks at 26 in terms of how far it needs to go to close the economic gap, below countries like Benin , Belarus , and Jamaica . In 2018, women in the U.S. earned only 85 percent what men earned for the same job, the Pew Research Center. Other organizations put that closer to 80 percent, which equals about four extra months’ worth of work for women.
“As progress stagnates, we need to ramp up investment in policies that can close the wage gap, especially for women of color, such as access to good jobs, childcare, and paid leave, along with reduced employment discrimination and the elimination of workplace harassment,” said Hartmann.
