Today's Boston Globe reports on the new Catalyst Study about women's slow progress in corporate America:

NEW YORK -- Women's progress in getting the top jobs in American business is so slow that at the current rate they are becoming corporate officers, it would take 40 years before women catch up with men, according to a survey released yesterday.

Women occupied only 16.4 percent of corporate officer positions in Fortune 500 companies in 2005, according to an annual survey by the nonprofit group Catalyst, which tracks women's progress in business leadership jobs.
