Latinas are the least represented group at the highest level of corporate America, with only 1% of C-suite, or executive positions being held by Latinas. Most alarmingly, they are the group that see the biggest drop in representation as they move up the corporate ladder.
Those figures come from a recently published study from LeanIn.Org, titled "The State of Latinas in Corporate America," the organization's first study of its kind. It drew heavily on Lean In and McKinsey & Company's annual Women in the Workplace study, looking at data from the past five years, as well as in-depth interviews with 26 Latinas across multiple industries, roles and levels.
