The Glass Ceiling Phenomenon is one that has been studied extensively, and many scholars reveal that despite numerous laws and policies, women continue to face barriers in advancing their careers in US companies. Many of these studies have been done mostly on white women, with very few studies involving black women. Therefore, this study was pursued in order to gain professional African American women's perception of the glass ceiling effect (PGCE) with respect to their demographics variables, such as age, education, employment position, and marital status. The PGCE score ranged from 1-5, with 5 indicating that the perception of the glass ceiling is very strong. The study used a snowball sampling technique to gain access to the sample of professional black women. The data from this study revealed that there is insufficient evidence to suggest that there is an association between the PGCE score for the women in this study and their age, education, employment position, and marital status. However, the data revealed that whereas none of the other educational level group's PGCE scores were statistically significantly different from each other, there is strong evidence to show that participants with a master's degree have a higher PGCE score than subjects with a high school education. The study also revealed that in this group of black women, more than 25% received a PGCE scored of 4 or higher. Many of the women found that the glass ceiling continues to exist in their work environment, even 20 years after the phenomenon was first identified in 1986.
