As the OP, I ask this in good faith, can you link me the data?
- KirinDave 9y agohttps://www.google.com/diversity/ https://www.google.com/diversity/ But you can google search for articles from previous years (google controls the comparisons so you can't free query the data).
- stagbeetle 9y agoThank you. It looks like there's been a steady up trend for gender diversity (starting from 2014), even if women to men in tech positions are 2:8. Although, the racial diversity is abysmal.
- KirinDave 9y agoIt's a startling deviation from the general population statistics. That fact is why I grant a lot of plausibility to unconscious bias arguments. When you render the numbers, they are very striking. And once you normalize that kind of environment as "balanced", an attempts to correct it are going to appear to be a new bias. With few exceptions, this is something like a Mystery Spot illusion where you're normalized to such a skewed perception that even balanced and fair ideas can appear to be unfair.
