This looks roughly the same as the demographics in my college classes NobodyHere May 2014 #1
Uhhhhh, isn't the US 63% non-Hispanic white? JJChambers May 2014 #2
From the article: YoungDemCA May 2014 #3
I thought it was GLOBAL for gender, US for ethnicity demographic JJChambers May 2014 #16
Google is in California. Californa is 39% white, 38% latino, 13% asian and 6% black. LeftyMom May 2014 #8
FYI JJChambers May 2014 #17
Thank you for stating the obvious. Their main campus is still in California. LeftyMom May 2014 #18
Ok, and their demographics are compiled from the entire country... JJChambers May 2014 #24
If a significant chunk of their workforce is in California, their workforce should look like CA. LeftyMom May 2014 #25
No I'm not JJChambers May 2014 #27
It's partly Bay Area demographics and part the H1B program being abused to keep wages down. LeftyMom May 2014 #32
But Google is in Mountain View, California, which is 56% white. Nye Bevan May 2014 #33
Mountain View wasn't 56% white until Google took it over. The South Bay used to be largely latino/a. LeftyMom May 2014 #35
LOL. In 2000 it was 64% white. And in 1990 it was 73% white. Nye Bevan May 2014 #36
The whole south bay has been getting whiter. There's not one labor pool in one San Jose suburb. LeftyMom May 2014 #37

But is it 17% women? Next we will hear that women don't want the jobs, LOL bettyellen May 2014 #19
I already said the demographics were skewed for men vs women JJChambers May 2014 #21
Google begins... KansDem May 2014 #4
61% are white. This is less than the U.S. population as a whole. Why did you put that in bold? N/T devils chaplain May 2014 #5
California's population is 39% white. Google is based in California. LeftyMom May 2014 #6
AMEN, LeftyMom.....Just wait, people who are closet racist & mysogynists will argue that you're Ecumenist May 2014 #7
The tech boom drove latino/a families out of the south bay. LeftyMom May 2014 #9
It's ethnic cleansing mwrguy May 2014 #42
I dislike Google, but in their defense... devils chaplain May 2014 #11
They're hiring grads who grew up in their world. There are three UCs within driving distance. LeftyMom May 2014 #15
I would hope that they would, but... devils chaplain May 2014 #28
+1. Google did not get to where they are today by refusing to hire smart black people (nt) Nye Bevan May 2014 #30
17% female? that is a disgrace. bettyellen May 2014 #20
Is it a "disgrace" that only 2% of kindergarten teachers are men? Nye Bevan May 2014 #39
It is a disgrace too! Teachers salaries are way too low in America, and that's what happens. bettyellen May 2014 #44
But Mountain View, California, where Google is based, is 56% white Nye Bevan May 2014 #34

I work at a tech company, and the outlook is dismal EvolveOrConvolve May 2014 #23
