Less Than Five Percent of CEOs at S&P 500 Companies are Women

Women make up almost half (47 %) of the US workforce and, yet, the number of women CEOs at S&P 500 companies is incredibly meager… and it’s declining.
In 2017, women made up 6.4 % of the companies on the list, that number is now down to 4.8 percent.
