Google’s workforce employed fewer white, male employees in 2018 compared with 2017, as the Asian workforce grew and women and people of color showed less obvious improvement.

Gains were reported in the number of women, black and Latino workers among new hires, and attrition rates for women and most under-represented groups declined, the Alphabet Inc. unit said in its annual diversity report. Still, black workers continued to have the highest attrition rates, according to the report, which cited race data for U.S. employees.
