Yahoo's Diversity Record Is Almost As Bad As Google's
theodp (442580) writes Comparing Yahoo's diversity numbers to Google's, writes Valleywag's Nitasha Tiku, is "like comparing rotten apples to rotten oranges." Two weeks after Google disclosed it wasn't "where we want to be" with its 17% female and 1% Black U.S. tech workforce, Yahoo revealed its diversity numbers aren't that much better than Google's, with a U.S. tech workforce that's 35% female and 1% Black. The charts released by Yahoo indicate women fare worse in its global tech workforce, only 15% of which is female. So, with Google and Yahoo having checked in, isn't it about time for U.S. workforce expert Mark Zuckerberg and company to stop taking the Fifth and ante up numbers to show students what kind of opportunities Facebook offers?
Not motivated - Women care more about careers like nursing and teaching elementary school, minorities care more about trying to make it big as a baller, rapper, or other field that doesn't require much education.
Not qualified - Very few women and minorities graduate with degrees in computer science or engineering.
You can argue between the causes (genetics, society, discrimination, etc.), but you can't refute these facts are true on the whole.
Most basketball players are tall also, which suggests a body image crisis in that industry.
I'm *amazing* in interviews. It's truly probably my best skill.
My condolences to your girlfriend. :-)
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Girlfriend? Do you remember what site you're on?
Almost always? Nothing funnier than an Internet braggart who must equivocate.
Due to my Race, Religiion, Gender, Sexual Orientation, & Age, I have a poor chance.
Yeah, it sucks that straight white males only get 80% of the good jobs, instead of the old 95%.
