【美国】美国必须适应劳动力市场的多样化

US must adopt a multicultural workforce

The labor force is projected to reach more than 164 million people by 2020, and the US will no longer have any single ethnic or racial majority by 2065. According to a 2015 report by the US Census Bureau, millennials are now the largest generation in American history and 44.2% classify themselves as something other than "white." It has been proven that a diverse workforce drives economic growth, and in order for corporate America to thrive, it must adopt a multicultural workforce for our ever-changing marketplace.

Data has shown that inclusive groups outperform their peers by 80% in team-based assessments. Despite this, only five out of all Fortune 500 companies have African American CEOs and resumes submitted by people with African American-sounding names are 14% less likely to get call backs than those with white-sounding names.

When examining women in the workforce, companies with more women on the board statistically outperform their peers over a long period of time. Yet there are fewer Fortune 500 CEOs who are women (4.1%) than those who are named David (4.5%) or John (5.3%), meaning that two single male names outnumber an entire gender.

根据美国人口普查局调查的结果表明，到2020年，美国的劳动力将达到1.64亿；到2065年，美国将不再仅有单一的种族。美国历史上第一次有44.2%的人群将他们自己划出"白人"的范围。这些现象表明，为促进美国经济增长及企业的发展，并适应不断变化的市场，提供多元化的劳动力是必不可少的。

数据显示，在团队评估中，多元文化包容性团队的业绩优于他们同行的80%。尽管如此，在世界500强企业中，只有5家企业中CEO简历上的名字是非裔美国人。这些标有非裔美国人姓名简历的召回率远比那些美国"白人"的简历召回率要低14%。

当查及女性在劳动力市场的占有率时。那些女性多于男性的公司长时间中在各方面的表现都优于同行。然而，在世界500强企业的CEO中，女性姓名的出现率比叫做David的男性低4.5%，比叫做John的男性低5.3%。这说明男性CEO在企业中占有的比重依旧大于女性。
