The key findings are that:
(1) In 1965 (when affirmative action started) white men had 100 percent of the management jobs in the Fortune 2000 companies.
(2) In 1995 (when the study concluded), and after 30 years of affirmative action, white men had 97.5 percent of the management jobs in the Fortune 2000 companies.
(3) Of that 2.75 percent increase in diversity, 88 percent of the gains were realized by white women.
(4) In 2001, there was a follow up study that found that, despite being only about 45 percent of the workforce, white men remained 90 percent of the managers. Moreover, the vast majority of these new gains three-quarters went to white women.
