Only 1% black employees?????
OMG. Where is Al Sharpton? Shouldn’t he be leading a march on Google headquarters?
How come our Teleprompter in Chief isn’t holding a press conference to decry this outrage?
Is Google under the control of the racist Tea Party?
The MSNBC dykes and fairies must be sputtering mad. Last time I checked, women made up about 50% of the population. How can Google explain only 30% women? Moochelle must be outraged.
NO. The sounds of silence coming from the liberal MSM and our progressive Democratic leadership?
Maybe Google is getting a pass because they pay off these politicians and cooperate with the NSA in tracking our every move. Maybe the advertising money generated from Google ads on the MSNBC and other MSM websites is more important than reporting the truth.
The hypocrisy of the liberal media and the political left is breathtaking to behold.
Google workforce data show company is predominantly white and predominantly male
Google published data detailing the diversity of its workforce, becoming one of the first large tech firms to do so. The data confirm a widely held belief: The company is predominantly male and white.
The numbers are stark: 70% of Google employees are men, and 61% are white. The company, in a blog post published Wednesday, concedes it still has a ways to go to meet its diversity goals: “Put simply, Google is not where we want to be when it comes to diversity, and it’s hard to address these kinds of challenges if you’re not prepared to discuss them openly, and with the facts.”
The issue of diversity in the tech industry has gained prominence during the past year, as social activists, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson, has called out Silicon Valley for its lack of racial and gender diversity and has begun pressing companies to release data about their workforce compositions.
Last week, Jackson appeared at Facebook’s annual shareholder meeting in Redwood City, Calif., to press the company to release data about its workforce, lamenting the scarcity of women and minorities in tech, especially at the executive level.
There are reasons, Google says, for its diversity deficit: Women earn roughly 18% of all computer-science degrees in the U.S., and blacks and Hispanics earn fewer than 5% of those degrees.
