Corporate America's representation of women remains stagnant with 11% of Fortune 500 companies led by women, despite progress in other areas. Key issues include a widening gender pay gap, declining diversity in boardrooms, and reduced employment rates for Black women.

• Gender pay gap widened for second year in a row
• White men made up majority of new S&P 500 directors for first time since 2017
• Employment rate for Black women declined sharply
