- pempem 5y agoThanks :) that is in fact my point! https://hbr.org/2016/04/if-theres-only-one-woman-in-your-candidate-pool-theres-statistically-no-chance-shell-be-hired https://hbr.org/2016/04/if-theres-only-one-woman-in-your-can... There are more CEOs of large U.S. companies who are named David (4.5%) than there are CEOs who are women (4.1%) — and David isn’t even the most common first name among CEOs. (That would be John, at 5.3%.)
- rajin444 5y agoAre we able to construct experiments to test this? I’m not sure how that’s possible given the confounds we don’t have the ability to control for (genetics being a huge one). Looking at group level statistics can’t provide a definitive answer due to this. If you have some links that prove otherwise I’d love to see them!
