The original source [0] is much better and includes the most recent data points in the graph and the ever so important margin of error (-/+ 4). The graph is actually much different from the business week article which should cast some doubt on the factuality of the reporting.

Edited to add: The margin of error of -/+4 points seems optimistic given the year-to-year change around 2001 for %Prefer male boss of 17 percentage points.
- TheCoelacanth 12y agoWomen were 50% more likely than men to prefer a male boss and 79% more likely than men to prefer a female boss. The biggest difference seems to be that women were much more likely to express any preference at all.
- petermonsson 12y agoIt is important to note that no preference is a volunteered response that is a response that was not among the options given in the phone interview. I wish that Gallup had asked how much people care or whether they care at all.
