Where are Women
in the Automotive
Industry?
In July 2012, Catalyst released its latest survey findings related to women working in the automotive industry. Some quick takeaways:
• In 2011, women held 25.9 per- cent of the jobs in the motor vehicle and motor vehicle equipment manu- facturing industry.
• Women hold 11.5 percent of corporate officer positions in the motor vehicle and parts industry, up just slightly from 11.2 percent in 2002 and 7.5 percent in 1998.
Business School found that companies flush with women leaders also tend to be top-notch corporate citizens, in terms of philanthropy and giving back to their communities.”
Women are making strides in some business environments; “It’s time they made their way into manufacturing,” says Lione.
