We also identified more executives who were either Hispanic or Asian. They accounted for 6 percent of executives in 2020 and that number rose to 7.1 percent this year. U.S. Census Bureau identified 5.9 percent of the U.S. population as Asian and 18.5 percent as Hispanic or Latino"

They are NOT represented proportionally relative to the overall population. 4.5% Black executives to 13.4% of the population. 7.1% Asian/Latino executives relative to 24.4% of the population. 26.7% Women executives to 50.8% of the population. Would you like me to go on?
