- 1356: Integrated Software Application
- ... patented. This would mean that only one company and its software could use it. Any other companies that wanted to use the software would have to pay them a large sum of money for the rights.

Although they were college-educated, they found it almost impossible to acquire a job in whatever ... Asian Americans are clearly under represented as managers across many occupational sectors, including private employment, the government, and both public and private institutions of higher learning.

This percentage included both men and women whereas white males allotted for 58.7 percent of chief executives in America's industries. These findings present some evidence of artificial barriers that are associated with glass ceiling. The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights admits that this information is not an absolute.
