8. Racial justice in the workplace: In-depth look at diversity’s struggle to crack corporate boardrooms

The article named "Racial justice in the workplace: In-depth look at diversity’s struggle to crack corporate boardrooms" is published on July 17, 2021, and updated on July 23,2021. The article was published under the website name "USA Today Money" and the writers' names are Charisse Jones, Jayme Fraser, and Dian Zhang. 

According to a USA TODAY study of previously unreported employment records from numerous large corporations, leadership positions are still predominantly white and male more than a year later. Black and Hispanic workers, especially the women, seem to be centered in the lowest ranks, and some of the country's top influential companies still decline to reveal information about their workforce's sexuality, nationality, and color. The article has a video named "Building pipelines for diversity success(4:07)" by Anthony D. Wilbon, dean of the Howard School of Business, and Charlotte Newman, senior manager at Amazon, talk about growth strategies for diversity and equity. In the video, they discovered that while Black and Hispanic workers have often been highly represented in the technicians, administrative assistants, and laborers who make up the core of many associations, they are much less likely to be present at the business's top positions or in other managerial roles, if we make the comparison to U.S. census data on the country's workplace. Further, the deficiency of diversity in corporate roles that offer the full salaries, provide the greatest benefit, as well as provide a path to advertisements, impacts, and governance, hardens the race and sexual wealth divide, with the average white community owning approximately twice the wealth of the average black family and 5 times the wealth of the average Hispanic family. Although white employees are three times more likely than their Black or Hispanic counterparts to achieve best positions throughout all industries in the United States, the disparity is even more pronounced among the country's major tech corporations. According to USA TODAY, white workers in some famous companies including Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft are five times as likely as Hispanic coworkers to be leaders and seven times more than Black colleagues.

1. All workplaces should give equal opportunities to the people without any matter of race, color, language, community, or culture. The thing that should be better is their talent, dedication, and their job performance. all should be get equal chances of getting developed and get success in their lives. 


2. I have a personal experience related to this article that the place I was working at 6 months ago, most of the people were white and I rarely saw black or people from another community. I am not sure it was because of racism or not supporting diversity but I never saw diverse people at that job.
