Google’s Workforce Diversity Little Changed in Past Year

Google Inc. made little progress in its efforts to diversify its workforce in the past year, even as the company increased hiring of women and minorities.

Women made up 30 percent of Google’s workforce as of January, the same percentage from the previous year, according to data released Monday by the search giant. Google said 21 percent of the people hired for technical jobs in 2014 were female, meaning the total number of women in the employment category rose 1 percent.
