Google’s Annual Diversity Report Revealed Incremental Progress Across the Board

33.2% of the company’s 2018 hires were women, up from 31.3% in 2017

Google released its annual diversity report, revealing modest gains by women, Black+ and Latinx+ groups in hiring in 2018 and overall representation in 2019.

The tech giant’s results mirrored those recently reported by other companies in the sector, such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest: slow progress and acknowledgement of the need to do more.

“Diversity, equity and inclusion are business imperatives for Google. They improve outcomes for our employees, our products and our users,” vice president of employee engagement Danielle Brown and global director of diversity, equity and inclusion Melonie Parker said in the report’s introduction.
