The number of women running Fortune 500 companies has hit a new high. (via CNBCMakeIt)

from her role last year; now there are zero Latina women in charge of a Fortune 500 firm.

Lorraine Hariton, president and CEO of Catalyst, a global nonprofit that works to accelerate women into leadership positions, says this year's list is an "incremental victory" in the right direction, but acknowledges that a lot more progress still needs to be made. She emphasizes that with this incremental victory also comes "the sobering reality of the unprecedented economic and health crisis we face in this moment," in which women are being financially impacted more than men., but they are also losing their jobs at a time when they are trying to "[manage] child care, their households and their own emotional well-being."

Moving forward, she says, "with more women CEOs in the Fortune 500, we need to be proactive to create more equitable, inclusive and fulfilling opportunities and workplaces for everyone." This includes, she adds, having a post-Covid-19 workplace where leaders are "intentionally [doubling] down on supporting women at every level to continue to advance women in the workplace."

MakeIt Hah. 7. Lol. Seriously we need to go for 51%. With equal or better compensation of their make peers for each.

MakeIt You see - Women can be as psychotic, dishonest and thieving as men.

MakeIt who gives a shit. all Ceos are trash. that doesn't help any of the tens of millions of struggling women

MakeIt Suddenly these companies became gardens with children holding hands, workers working 4h days, gender equality and salary raise... OR HOW ABOUT YOU WAKE UP BECAUSE ITS BUSINESS AS USUAL IN THESE PLACES TOO. So what's so special about it? Best person for the job? Equality, right?

MakeIt more 👏 female 👏 feudal 👏 overlords

MakeIt every corporation should have more women, they can't screw things up any worse then they already are.

MakeIt Diversity!

MakeIt Can we have less billionaires in general instead.

MakeIt Look at the great women leaders in the world judge them from their behaviors and utterances. Barbados, Germany, New Zealand and I think the other is Iceland. Let us take it that women can do the jobs. Formed from the rib of man, special indeed while man was formed from the dust.

MakeIt Great news! For if they can successfully managed the hardest most challenging areas so successfully in life (the home, the family and all the other resources) I support that there is a need for more women to management in the corporate world.
