Workforce Diversity data

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission collects data in the Employer Information Report EEO-1 on gender and racial diversity in the workplace in private industry. See FAQs about the survey. Due to the time it takes the EEOC to process the data, there is a lag between when it is collected and then reported. Additional diversity employment data is available for other sectors like public schools and the government.

Technology Company Diversity Data

While many tech companies release diversity reports, we're not yet aware of a resource that has aggregated them into a usable dataset. The following are some other options:

DiversityReports.org

This organization has aggregated some basic diversity figures at large companies and includes links to the underlying diversity report.

Reveal Tech Diversity Data, 2016

Part of the Center of Investigative Reporters, Reveal collected data on diversity in tech and released reports. This data is based on the 2016 EEO-1 survey.
