A corporate pledge to hire and promote one million Black workers into middle-class jobs within a decade needs to increase fivefold over the next year to get on pace to reach that goal.
The OneTen initiative, created in 2020 by former International Business Machines Corp. chief executive officer Ginni Rometty and former Merck & Co. CEO Ken Frazier, is working with member companies to get 1 million Black workers into jobs that don’t require 4-year college degrees and pay family-sustaining wages.
