absolutely. ten years out women start dropping out the work force. why? since the 1990s we re only at 20% of women and senior management. that s in a really good industry. the drop off is dramatic. the drop off is typically because women get shut out. when they have kids and they are the lead parent then they need more flexibility. either they get taken off leadership track when they take flexibility or the workplace is unwilling to accommodate what they need. they step out and we as a nation are losing human amounts of talent. the other big message of the book is we have a halfway revolution.
why? really historically, look at this, since the 1990s, we re only at 20% of women in senior management and that s in a really good industry. the dropoff is dramatic. and the dropoff is typically because women get shut out. when they have kids and they are the lead parent, then they need more flexibility and but either they get taken off leadership track when they take flexibility because a lot of places have flexibility policies but you certainly can t rise if you take them or the workplace is unwilling to accommodate when they need. so they step out. and we as a nation are losing huge amounts of talent. we ve got a halfway revolution. we have radically changed womens roles over my life time, women have opportunities they ve never had before in history. but men s roles are more or less
they tell you the deal looks bad right now, trust me, we got to swallow this blank right now, we ll do it and you ll com out stronger the other side. i like john boehner. if john boehner said to me take the bad vote, i would smile and say i would consider it that s because he was newt s boy. if john chadding came to me and said to me, hey, joe, listen this is a really bad deal, but i m going to do it, and i think you should do it too, boom, i would do it because i trust john chadic. that s what you have with paul ryan that you will never have with kevin mccarthy and a lot of these other people on the leadership track. two discussions.
for the atlantic. what do you make of this rise in the polls of marco rubio it s a bookend, which is the big story of them all, which is the shrinkage of is jeb bush, which we re going to be months and month explaining. the votes that go to jeb have to go somewhere. marco rubio is very successfully elbowing his way to the front of the leadership track. maria teresa, his big weakness up to now, anyway, has been that he was in favor of immigration reform before he was against immigration reform. and this was actually his own immigration reform bill that he turned against. right. and i think that s where he s trying to play it both ways. one of the things to caution marco rubio is that while i he s rising in the poll, he has to be careful how close he gets to donald trump. ben carson can go away tomorrow,
think lindsey graham probably had done a lot better job over time saying close to his electorate and being connected and cantor was much more focused on this leadership track of flying around the country, meddling in tea party primaries on his path to becoming speaker of the house. stay with me and kyle stay with us because i do want to ask you about brat next. now that he s done this thing, what happens for him. is he ready for the primetime of this big race when we come back. and i get a lot in return with ink plus from chase. like 50,000 bonus points when i spent $5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. and i earn 5 times the rewards on internet, phone services and at office supply stores. with ink plus i can choose how to redeem my points. travel, gift cards, even cash back. and my rewards points won t expire. so you can make owning a business even more rewarding. ink from chase. so you can.
