Latinas Face Underrepresentation and Bias in Corporate America

A recent LeanIn.org report reveals that Latinas are significantly underrepresented in corporate America, comprising less than 5% of entry-level workers and only 1% of C-suite executives. Despite being as ambitious as their peers, Latinas face numerous barriers, including fewer promotions and less workplace flexibility. The 'broken rung' phenomenon, where for every 100 men promoted to manager only 74 Latinas are promoted, hinders their advancement. Latinas also face stereotypes and biases that further impede their career progress. Experts suggest that systemic changes are necessary to improve representation and inclusivity for Latinas in the corporate world.
