I have no idea what the industry-wide patterns of discrimination are
(though I have my guesses), but I would note that Chase is supposed to be
unsual in its favoring of affirmative action at all levels and has won
awards for its diversity. (I noticed the diversity myself when
contracting there.)
This says nothing about what other companies may or may not do.
