Just in time for the official launch of www.salarycoaching.com, the Wall Street Journal published an extensive report on women being held back in the work place:
"Roughly equal numbers of men and women say they want to be promoted—78% and 75%, respectively. But as men’s desire for big jobs intensifies in the course of their careers, only 43% of women said they want to be a top executive, compared with 53% of men. Perhaps most startling, 25% of women feel their gender has hindered their progress, a perception that grows more acute once women reach senior levels."
This WSJ report is largely based on an extensive report surveying women in the workplace, that has just been released by LeanIn.org in conjunction with McKinsey and Company. Over the next few weeks, I will dive into this data and look more deeply into it. It sounds like women have made some progress in moving towards employment equality- but at this pace, we are still approximately 100 years away (according to Sheryl Sandberg from LeanIn.org).
