Latinas still account for only 1% of C-suite roles

A new report by Lean In finds that Latinas face the greatest hurdles to climbing the corporate ladder.

While the gender pay gap persists for all women relative to their white male counterparts, it has long been widest for Latinas, who are paid 46% less than white men and 26% less than white women. One explanation offered for this gap has been that Latinas are more likely to hold low-wage jobs—but research indicates that those pay disparities remain in place among women who are more educated or work in more lucrative industries.
