FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Latinas experience the biggest drop in representation when climbing the corporate ladder - Caught on Camera

In a new study by LeanIn.Org, Latinas face many challenges as they enter and try to ascend corporate America, even in comparison to other women. (Credit: Unsplash.com)

As Latinos become one of the most prominent minority groups in the U.S., they are also making their way into the corporate world. However, while the number of Latinos entering the workforce may increase, they are also facing an increasing amount of challenges, ones that are more accentuated among Latinas.

In fact, 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, according to a recently published report by LeanIn.org.
