In 1995, zero percent of CEOs at Fortune 500 company were women. By 2023, this number had increased to 10.6 percent of CEO's, or 53 women. According to the source, Katharine Graham was the first woman CEO on the Fortunate 500 list in 1972.

In 2024, approximately 53 percent of Fortune 500 companies' chief marketing officers (CMOs) in the United States were women. A year earlier, the share stood at 50 percent. Meanwhile, the percentage of underrepresented ethnic groups among Fortune 500 CMOs in the U.S. remained the same.

In January and February 2021, 13 percent of adult men in the United States reported that they help a very positive opinion on tech companies such as Amazon, Facebook, and Google. In comparison, only 9 percent of adult women felt the same about tech companies.

As of 2019, most employees in selected tech companies were male. Biotech company 23andMe was ranked first with ** percent female employees, the only company on the list to feature a majority female workforce. Airbnb was ranked second with ***** percent female employees. Hardware-focused companies Intel, Cisco, and Nvidia closed the ranking with less than ** percent female workforce each. One female to every two males in U.S. tech industry     The majority of employees in the U.S. tech industry are male. Round about a third of all employees in tech occupations in the United States are women – Washington D.C., or the District of Columbia, was the state with the greatest tech gender balance in the U.S., with close to ** percent of tech employees there being female in 2019. In general, females also earn less than their male counterparts: males in the U.S. earn around ****** U.S. dollars on average more than females. Types of tech employment    The IT sector employment includes professionals from various sub-fields, such as, technology manufacturing, telecommunications and internet services, software publishing, etc. The worldwide full-time employment in the ICT sector is forecast to grow by around *********** in the next four years. Full-time employees represent close to*** percent of all IT workers worldwide. Other types of employment include outsourced, contractor, or part-time workers.

Despite comprising of a smaller share of the U.S. population than African Americans or Hispanics, the most represented non-white U.S. CEOs were of an Asian background. They made up 55 percent of CEO positions at Fortune 500 and S&P 500 companies in 2024. By comparison, 11 percent of CEOs at the time were African American. The rise of environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) Investments in ESG have risen dramatically over last few years. In November 2023 there were approximately 480 billion U.S. dollars in ESG ETF assets worldwide, compared to 16 billion U.S. dollars in 2015. ESG measures were put in place to encourage companies to act responsibly, with the leading reason for ESG investing stated to be brand and reputation according to managers and asset owners. Gender diversity With the general acceptance of ESG in larger companies, there has still been a significant employment gap of women working in senior positions. For example, the share of women working as a partner or principal at EY, one of the largest accounting firms in the world, was just only 28 percent in 2023.

In the United States, Latinx women-founded companies raised a higher volume of venture capital funds than Black women-founded companies from 2018 to 2019. During this time period, companies founded by Latinx women raised 1.03 billion U.S. dollars, while companies founded by Black women raised only 700 million U.S. dollars, around 30 percent less.

Overall, Latinx women-led companies were able to raise more VC funding than Black women-led companies from 2018 and 2019. This aligns with the fact that in 2018, more Latinx women than Black women were able to raise over one million U.S. dollars in venture funding. However, this changed in 2020, when more Black women than Latinx women raised over one million U.S. dollars in funding.

In 2024, women accounted for 15.4 percent of all movie directors in the United States. This figure remained nearly the same as in 2022. However, it marked a decrease compared to 2021, which represented the highest share of female directors recorded in the past decade. Women remain unseen behind the scenes Even though there has been some visible progress over the past few years, diversity remains a hotly contested issue in Hollywood and the entire U.S. entertainment business. The share of female movie writers, for example, still only stood at about 22 percent in 2024 despite having increased for several years. Not only that, but a recent ranking of the 20 highest-grossing film directors of all time also revealed that all top-earning directors are male, highlighting the firm financial gap between male and female professionals in the industry. Representation on camera The gender distribution of lead actors in movies has become much more balanced in recent years. In 2024, for example, women accounted for roughly 48 percent of film leads in the U.S., significantly higher than the 25.6 percent share they had reached in 2011. The latest reports also indicated that women and people of color have made significant gains during the past decade in terms of on-screen employment. Both groups have approached or even surpassed proportionate representation compared to U.S. demographic data. That said, on-screen presence does not automatically imply inclusion or guarantee the appropriate portrayal of diverse groups on TV and the big screen.

As of January 2024, the majority of Google employees worldwide, almost 66 percent, were male. The distribution of male and female employees at Google hasn’t seen a big change over the recent years. In 2014 the share of female employees at Google was 30.6 percent. In 2021 this number has increased by only 3 percent. Considering that the total number of Google employees increased greatly between the years 2007 and 2020, the female quota among the employees had seen rather a small increase. Google as a company Google is a diverse internet company that provides a wide range of digital products and services. In 2022, the company’s global revenue was over 279 billion U.S. dollars. Most of its revenue, around 305 billion U.S. dollars, was from advertising. Among its services, the most popular ones are YouTube and Google Play. Male and female employees at tech companies Google is not the only tech company with a lower number of female employees. This pattern can be seen in other big tech companies too. In 2019, in a ranking of 20 leading tech companies worldwide, only 23andMe had more than a 50 percent share of female employees. The majority of tech companies in the ranking have far more male than female employees.

In 2023, approximately 40 percent of lawyers in the United States were women. In 2022, the state with the highest employment in that occupation was California, followed by New York and Florida.

How has the number of lawyers in the U.S. changed over time?

Between 2007 and 2022, there was an overall increase in the number of practicing lawyers in the United States. In 2022, the number of lawyers in the United States was up almost ten percent from what it had been a decade ago. Conversely, the number of law school graduates has steadily declined since 2013. This suggests that although the demand for lawyers has continued to grow in the United States, there have been fewer graduates being produced by law schools in the country.

The U.S. legal services market

The largest segment of the U.S. legal services market in 2022 was spending on outside legal counsel. This segment contributed significantly more to the market than corporate legal departments for companies with over one billion U.S. dollars in revenue. In 2017, the United States held almost half of the global legal market.

This statistic shows the results of a survey conducted in the United States in February 2017, by gender. U.S. adults were asked if they knew pharmaceutical companies, even if only by name. About 84 percent of female respondents and 80 percent of male respondents indicated that they knew pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson.

According to a global software developer survey in 2022, the vast majority of developers are males, accounting for ***** percent of all respondents. Female developers amounted to only **** percent of all respondents, demonstrating the male-dominating reality of software development jobs. Gender imbalance in the tech industry The tech industry has an overwhelming gender imbalance, in which women at leading tech companies tend to be the minority. Consider Dell’s workforce and Intel’s workforce as an example. In both leading tech companies, women make up only around ** percent of the workforce. Computing related positions in the United States vary on gender breakdown, with computer hardware engineers ranking the lowest in terms of gender diversity as of late. Diversity & inclusion initiatives When tech industry CEOs and founders were asked whether diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives were effective, **** indicated that they were not effective. This comes at an interesting time, especially given the overall gender imbalance in the tech industry. Not to mention, the majority of senior management positions within the IT industry are dominated by men. Diversity and inclusion initiatives could help to resolve workplace harassment and unequal treatment that many female executives experience within the tech industry today.

According to a December 2020 survey of U.S. adults, only 10 percent of female respondents felt very comfortable with tech companies sharing their location data, including where they had traveled, with the government so that the government could better track the spread of the coronavirus. Additionally, 45 percent of female respondents felt very uncomfortable with this idea.

At the end of 2024, Alphabet had 183,323 full-time employees. Up until 2015, these figures were reported as Google employees. The alphabet was created through a corporate restructuring of Google in October 2015 and became the parent company of Google as well as several of its former subsidiaries, including Calico, X, CapitalG and Sidewalk Labs. Google’s popularity Google is one of the most famous internet companies in the world, and in May 2024, the most visited multi-platform website in the United States, with over 278 million U.S. unique visitors during that month alone. The California-based multinational internet company has been delivering digital products and services since its creation in 1996. Due to the popularity of its search engine, the verb “to google” has entered the everyday language and the Oxford Dictionary. In addition to that, the company has also crafted itself as one of the most desirable employers, largely due to the many perks it offers in its offices worldwide. Some of the most appealing aspects of working for Google according to its employees include readily available foods and drinks, good working conditions, and ample communal spaces for relaxing, as well as many health benefits and generous salaries. Google offices and employees As of February 2022, Google and Alphabet had more than 70 offices in over 200 cities throughout 50 around the globe, including Germany, Czechia, Finland, Canada, Mexico, Turkey, and New Zealand. The company’s headquarters, also known as “the Googleplex,” are located in Mountain View, California, while other office locations in American states include New York, Georgia, Texas, Washington D.C., and Massachusetts. As Alphabet, the company employs a total over 182 thousand full-time staff, in addition to many other temporary and internship positions. Per the most recent diversity report published in July 2021, most Google employees were male and only 34 percent were female – a figure that has barely changed since the company started reporting on the diversity of its employees in 2016. Furthermore, as of 2021, women occupied only 28.1 percent of leadership positions and 24.6 percent of tech positions. Although Google has regularly stated that the company is committed to promoting ethnic diversity among its personnel, some 54.4 percent of its U.S. employees are White and only 3.3 percent of employees are Black.
