Women At Work: Soundbytes, Statistics Of Women Who Lead (Infographic) 10 Surprising Statistics on Women in the Workplace - CollegeTimes™ Women in the Workplace: New Poll, Some Old Numbers - Jen Doll. A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News survey reveals some disconcerting, if not terribly surprising, facts about how women feel and are treated in the workplace—things that many people already know, and many have worked to change.

It's strange, isn't it? Or isn't it. The gender wage gap, gender discrimination, and that omnipresent question of having it all: These were three big topics this survey of 1,000 adults, conducted April 5-8 by the polling organizations of Bill McInturff at Public Opinion Strategies and Fred Yang at Hart Research, addressed.

A survey can only be a survey, but these are topics we've been talking about for years. Oh yes, those. Image via Shutterstock by Everett Collection. Developing Women Leaders: Five Essentials. Leadership Program for Women Targets Subtle Promotion Biases. For the last quarter century, many fought hard to overcome gender discrimination in the workplace by raising awareness, strengthening antidiscrimination policies, and encouraging more women to enter the corporate world.

Despite years of progress by women in the workforce (they now occupy more than 40% of all managerial positions in the United States), within the C-suite they remain as rare as hens’ teeth. Consider the most highly paid executives of Fortune 500 companies—those with titles such as chairman, president, chief executive officer, and chief operating officer.

Of this group, only 6% are women. Most notably, only 2% of the CEOs are women, and only 15% of the seats on the boards of directors are held by women.
