Published

Corporations in America are not known for their diversity when it comes to C-suite executives. The majority of CEOs and other top executives have primarily been white men. Are corporations doing any better at adding diversity to their executive teams?

Qualtrics looked at CEOs of Fortune 50 companies through the year to see just how much more diverse these companies have become.

In 1980, all 50 of the Fortune 50 CEOs were white men. Now, in 2023, the roles are a bit more diverse. The lineup includes 6 white females, one black male, one black female, three South Asian males, one Latino male, and one Latina female.

These are some of the diversity milestones among Fortune 500 CEOS:

  • First Female: Katharine Graham – The Washington Post (1972)
  • First Latino Male: Roberto Goizueta – Coca Cola (1981)
  • First East Asian Male: Gerald Tsai – The American Company (1986)
  • First Black Male: Clifton R. Wharton Jr. – TIAA-CREF (1987)
  • First South Asian Male: Ramani Ayer – The Hartford (1997)
  • First East Asian Female: Andrea Jung – Avon (1999)
  • First South Asian Female: Indra Nooyi – PepsiCo (2006)
  • First Black Female: Ursula M Burns – Xerox (2009)
  • First Openly LGBTQ+ Male: Tim Cook
  • First Latina Female: Geisha Williams – PG&E (2017)
  • First Openly LGBTQ+ Female: Beth Ford – Land O’Lakes (2018)

Corporate America still has many steps to take to ensure that companies’ executives are more diverse. However, a more concerted effort to diversify is a small step that will help companies more accurately represent our diverse population.

Real Estate Chart Reveals Your Money Has Only 50-80% of the Buying Power it Did 5 Years Ago

Published

on

Houses aren’t cheap these days. In fact, they are so not cheap that millions of young Americans are holding off on buying a home and are instead opting to rent for the foreseeable future. “Just how bad is it?”, you might be wondering. Well, this new visualization from construction app maker Builder Pad forces you to look at the problems the United States is facing in the real estate market in an entirely new way. From this perspective, you are able to see how much smaller a house you’ll be able to afford today vs. 2018 for the same amount of money. So, how much smaller has a $500,000 home become in your state?

In order to reveal which states have the fastest-rising real estate prices, Builder Pad analyzed median listing prices by state in two distinct ways. First, is by percentage of square feet lost over the five year period between 2018 and 2023. The state that was hit the hardest in this metric is Montana where a $500K house is now 50.15% smaller. Just typing that out blows my mind.

The second metric used in this study is square feet lost over the same 5-year period. The state that lost the most square feet in a $500,000 house is Kansas with a drop of 2,280.26 square feet. That’s the equivalent of losing five (5!) two-car garages in living space. With virtually no end in sight for this real estate conundrum, what will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back?

56 Military, Commercial, and Personal Aircraft Ranked by Top Speed

Published

What can go nearly six times the speed of sound and cost $2.5 trillion dollars to build and operate (adjusted for inflation)? The answer is the North American X-15, hypersonic rocket-powered aircraft that achieved the fastest aircraft flying speed of all time on October 3rd, 1967 when it reached 4,520 miles per hour! That is an awe-inspiring 75 miles per minute and 1.25 miles per second. GlobalAir.com has launched a compelling (or propelling?) chart visualizing aircraft ranked by max flying speed. More than half of the aircraft shown are capable of flying faster than the sound of speed!

How fast is the sound of speed anyway? Mach 1, or the speed of sound, varies depending on the temperature of the air (or other medium) that it is passing through. So at sea level on planet Earth at around 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the speed of sound is approximately 767 miles per hour. That means that the North American X-15, an aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, flew at a rate nearly six times as fast as the speed of sound. The record was achieved by William J. Knight, a Vietnam combat pilot and test pilot for the U.S. Air Force. During his 16 flights in the aircraft, Knight became one of the few non-NASA pilots to earn their Astronaut Wings by flying an airplane in space – this was achieved by reaching an altitude of 280,500 feet (53.125 miles). It truly is extraordinary how far aviation technology has come in a century!
