This chart depicts why women do not hold top job positions. According to the majority of Americans surveyed, it is not because of traditional reasons such as family responsibilities, insufficient leadership capabilities, or lack of intelligence. The prevailing belief among four in ten Americans is that a double standard exists where women have to prove themselves more compared to men. Similarly, 43% believe that employers are not ready to hire women to top roles. As women continue the fight for workplace equality, it is important to recognize evolving social barriers.
