Abstract

As the number of women in the U.S. labor force has increased dramatically over the last two decades, so has the significance of the issue of gender diversity for negotiators. This note has two objectives. First, using data from the Current Population Survey, it summarizes recent trends in sex segregation in managerial and professional occupations. Second, the note provides easy-to-compute and intuitive statistics that can help negotiators develop goals and track progress with respect to the extent of gender diversity in managerial and professional occupations in their organizations.
