NEWS FLASH
Just 18 Fortune 500 Companies Have Women CEOs | Women lead just 3.6 percent of the corporations making the Fortune 500 list this year. While only 18 female CEOs is a low number, it’s still a record high, up from 12 last year. Corporate boardrooms lack women as well, as one in 10 Fortune 500 corporations does not have a woman on its board. Even when women do reach the top of a company, they face a wage gender gap, as female CEOs make 69 cents for every dollar a male CEO earns.
