A picture of the ratio of men and women in Silicon Valley tech companies: it man cried

November 28, until recently, the data on gender and ethnic diversity in Silicon Valley's largest technology companies have been a mystery, and these companies have been secretive about the data that could lead to competitive damage. This summer, the secret Iron Curtain was finally slowly pulled open, when social networking giant Facebook published the data for the first time in June. At roughly the same time, Google (Weibo), Apple and Yahoo also published their own data. As expected, the figures suggest that there is a lack of gender and ethnic diversity within these Silicon Valley giants: Female workers are disproportionately low, and other ethnic groups other than whites or Asians are discriminated against. According to the information graph provided by the information is interfere website, the diversity of 18 of Silicon Valley's top technology companies, compared to the top 50 in the US, underscores the problem that Silicon Valley has a long way to go in this field. As shown, the percentage of female employees is at a distinct disadvantage in the social networks of Facebook, Google +, LinkedIn and Twitter, as well as among technology giants such as Amazon, Apple, Dell, Google and Intel. Among them, semiconductor manufacturers Nvidia (NVIDIA), the lowest proportion of female employees, only 16%, the highest is the electric business giant ebay, reached 42%. By contrast, the proportion of women in the American population was 51%, while the average percentage of female employees in the top 50 of American companies reached 46%. The chart also shows that white employees have an absolute advantage in Silicon Valley technology companies. Interestingly, the Asian population, which accounts for only 4% of the population of the United States, has a higher proportion of the total number of employees in these companies, the highest proportion of which is NVIDIA, up to 44%; By contrast, the average percentage of Asian employees in the top 50 of U.S. companies is just 10%. At the same time, the proportion of Hispanics, blacks, hybrids and others in the total number of employees in Silicon Valley technology companies is low. In the case of blacks, the highest percentage of blacks employed in Silicon Valley companies is Amazon, which is 15%, and the lowest is photo-sharing services Pinterest and Nvidia, just 1%. In addition to Amazon and Dell (10%), the proportion of black employees in other Silicon Valley companies has not reached two digits. By contrast, the proportion of blacks in the U.S. population is 12%, while the average percentage of black employees in the top 50 of U.S. companies is also 12%. In addition to the information graph itself, the information Beauty website also publishes the dataset used to make this chart. Snow）
