Among college-educated women in their prime working years, Black women are the most likely to be working, yet they make up about 2% of private sector managers. Marketplace Morning Report host Kimberly Adams joins Robyn Vincent to talk about why, and about the unpaid work that holds women back. She also traces her own path, from reporting in Cairo the night Egypt's military seized power to the host's chair, and explains why she still believes better information can lead to kinder choices.
