Women leaders account for 7.4% of Fortune 500 companies. Of the 37, only three are women of color.

While this a significant improvement from 2010 -- when there were only 15 women CEOs on the list, or even 2018 when there were 24 -- many were quick to point out that the data still indicates there is a long way to go when it comes to achieving gender equity in the C-suite.An Amazon distribution center, April 25, 2020, in North Las Vegas, Nevada.

Amazon's rise does not yet take into account its pandemic profits, when the e-commerce giant saw skyrocketing demand while most brick-and-mortar businesses were forced to close to stop the spread of COVID-19. "Consumers still want their stuff and nobody is more better equipped to get them stuff than Amazon," he said.

When Amazon first made the list in 2002, it was No. 492. Since then its market value has spiked more than 22,000%, according to Fortune.

Very interesting and be like Trudeau just appoint them to top government positions like RCMP etc! His cabinet also showed his wanting to appoint like his father just watch me! Military appointments must have been discouraging for male officers who earned and deserved them

Stop playing the race card

If you want definition, color your Facebook avatar and wield it however. It's your and audimated. No harm but what's in you.

Women work so bad? I didn't know that. Such a pity! Maybe we should increase working day for women twice from now or do something else?

Feminists issue going on is making people crazy men are good at some work & women are good at other types of work If humans are pushing to reach equity we will lose fairness and the victims will be women in this equation Otherwise why we have sports for men and sports for women

How much cash you given to coronovirus victims and for supplies Jeff👨‍🦲Bezos🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Who cares tell us something important like where exactly Obama is right now! I mean is he creating another disaster for America?We know he plans such things!

You don’t take a mule to the Kentucky Derby.

What ever happened to MLK Jr's dream?

For instance, wasn’t color and race brought into the corona as well? Why does so much have to evolve around race?

Who the hell brought color into this?

Twist the narrative by any means to divide the country. If you wanted to be honest journalists, how about a comparison to 20 years ago?

Enough of this color stuff.. whatever happened to equal rights?

Brains have the same color, regardless of race.

I’m sure the good old boys think those numbers are too high.

🙄

Identity politics is the greatest evil of our time.

NOTHING is stopping anyone!! We live in a FREE society!

Maybe Stacey Abrams could be CEO of ABC?

Try working harder then. All I hear is wah wah wah , woe is me

I guess women of color need to try harder then.

SAD SO MANY WOMEN AND AMAZON CONTINUES TO TREAT THEIR EMPLOYEES LIKE SLAVES !!

This topic never riles racists and misogynists.

The other 34 are hybrids

I am the executive director of an organization where 95% of employees are women, 80% of the board are women, and I am the 13 born, 4th boy with 10 sisters. You do not need to reach further for someone to explain why women are great leaders. I get it!

Belgium has a women leader, it also leads the world in covid death rates.

So?

We should demand all companies put in female executives immediately.

Well if more women of color could invent a fortune 500 company.. there would be more women of color. To the creator goes the spoils.

Who cares.

What about all the other genders?

That’s because women are more into things like sewing and baking. Not running silly companies.

Of the 500, none of them are me. Where's my consolation prize?

Omg let’s all quit our jobs or better yet hire unqualified people just to meet quotas.
