Facebook's annual diversity report shows it's making little headway on boosting its numbers of Black employees
The new data comes as the US faces widespread protests over racism and police brutality, and workplaces and broader society grapple with racism and discrimination. Facebook announced a number of changes in response to the Black Lives Matter protests, including having Chief Diversity Officer Maxine Williams report directly to COO Sheryl Sandberg, and a $100 million grant and ad credit program focused on Black-owned businesses and creators.
According to the new report, men make up 63% of Facebook's workforce globally, just down from 63.1% in 2019. In 2014, that number was 69%. They are particularly overrepresented in technical roles, comprising 75.9% in 2020 . Asian employees saw continued gains at the company, growing to 44.4% of the total US workforce, and the percentage of Hispanic workers also increased by a little over a percentage point in 12 months, from 5.2% to 6.3%.
The majority of Black employees work in non-technical roles: Just 1.7% of technical workers at Facebook in the US in 2020 are Black, up from 1.5% in 2019, and 1% in 2014.A chart from Facebook's 2020 Diversity Report showing how the representation of Black employees at the company has changed over time.
