Yes and 0% unemployed people in management positions as well.<p>Why is everybody so convinced that there should be an equal amount of every trait in any given set of people?<p>c.a. 50% of all humans are men but 0% of men give birth, how do we fix this inequality.<p>Seriously why would having X % of anything in set one mean that it should be exactly X % in a totally unrelated set?

Diversity efforts are often looked at as just a numbers game. Get that ratio of men and women to 50&#x2F;50 and everything will sort itself out.<p>In reality, it&#x27;s a critical mass problem. To better serve and manage a diverse workforce, you need diversity in management. It&#x27;s the same from a product prospective; it&#x27;s a lot easier to understand a diverse user base if your team is also diverse.<p>Heather is absolutely right that promotions are largely based on politics and having a strong communication style, which inherently limits talent at the managerial level.
