Diversity Numbers: Companies and Leadership Positions

diversity numbers: Despite loudly touted efforts to hire more blacks, Latinos and women, especially in technical and leadership positions, diversity numbers at the largest tech companies are barely budging, according to CTV. In 2014, 2 per cent of Googlers were black and 3 per cent were Hispanic, numbers that have not changed since. But when it comes to racial and gender diversity, its leading companies are no trailblazers. The picture is similar at Facebook and Twitter . Microsoft is slightly more racially diverse though not when it comes to gender and Apple even more so, though still not reflective of the U.S. population. Women, meanwhile, make up less than a third of the workforce at many companies -- even less in engineering and other technical jobs. Amazon is more racially diverse still, although it counts a large, lower-wage warehouse workforce in its totals. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
