Summary
A recent survey by the Survey Center on American Life shows a notable shift in U.S. workers' preferences toward female leadership, particularly following advancements in women's roles in Fortune 500 companies. The survey, which included over 5,800 adults, indicates that younger women increasingly prefer female bosses, while men in their 20s exhibit mixed preferences. This marks a significant change from previous years when male leadership was favored. The data also highlights demographic variations, with women aged 18 to 29 showing the strongest preference for female leaders, contrasting with older individuals, especially men over 65, who remain less supportive of this trend.
