It took a few weeks, but Twitter has finally released diversity data on its company, joining the likes of LinkedIn, Facebook and Google. The results? Twitter’s roughly 3,000 employees are predominately white (59%) and overwhelmingly male (70%).
The company’s gender gap, in particular, becomes even more pronounced when broken down by expertise. Of Twitter’s technology employees, a whopping 90% are men. For non-technical jobs, the split between genders is 50-50. What’s more, almost 80% of those in leadership positions are men (and 72% are white).
