A White House study found that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in Corporate America have led to inefficient management and reduced productivity, causing a $94 billion loss in U.S. GDP in 2023. The report highlights that rapid promotion of unqualified minority managers to meet DEI quotas has increased management inefficiencies, while minority workers' productivity remains unaffected. It also notes that backlash against DEI has led companies to scale back such programs, partly due to litigation risks and political pressures, including actions from the Trump administration. The study suggests that rolling back DEI initiatives could improve economic output by restoring merit-based management practices.
