WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Two recently released reports show that women and people of color continue to face workforce inequality.

McKinsey and Company has released its Women in the Workplace 2024: The 10th-anniversary report. The report, created in partnership with LeanIn.org, collected data from 281 organizations that employ over 10 million people and surveyed more than 15,000 workers and 280 HR leaders.

While some progress has been made, even though women represent the majority of the population, they are still under-represented in the workplace, from entry-level up to corporate leadership, including positions like CEO.

The data shows that while there has been modest progress over the years, further analysis shows larger divides. For every 100 men who receive a promotion, just 81 women will receive one.

Women comprise 48% of the workforce, while men represent 52%. However, breaking down those numbers by ethnicity and workforce roles shows more disparity.
