In April 2011, the Wall Street Journal convened nearly 200 top leaders in government, business, and academia as a task force for their “Women in the Economy” initiative. (You can learn more about the initiative and the conference here.) The conference was called to address the growing evidence that while women make up more than half the workforce in the nation, the progress of women in America’s workplace has stalled—and it’s now actually “falling backward”.
Ladies, does your „traditional” job give you a headache? You’re not alone. Put down the pills and read on!
My colleague Christine Jacobs rightly pointed out in her April 15 Forbes.com post: “Who would have thought that in the year 2011, there would still only be 15 women CEOs in the Fortune 500? Who would have thought that only 15% of American corporate board positions would be held by women? Who would have thought that only 17% of the US Congress would be women? And we are frustrated.”
