Straight, white guys it seems are no longer the dominant force is the American work place. Those classified as "diverse" are the biggest breadwinners, with those in the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender (LGBT) category most likely to make over $100,000, according to a recent survey by CareerBuilder.

To be specific, the CareerBuilder survey found that LGBT workers were the most likely of all segments to earn six figures and, along with Asians, the most likely to earn $50,000 or more (62 percent). That's 2 percent higher than non-diverse workers.
