- Authors
Rigel Hines, Tesa
- Abstract
Demographic group representation in medium and large private-sector employers was analyzed using multiple regression and EEO-1 data. Across 21 years (1996-2016), these data show an underrepresentation of white women and nonwhites in official and managerial positions, though this is increasing. Nonwhite men are also underrepresented in professional positions, and increasing. Nonwhite employees are overrepresented and increasing representation across other occupational categories. Unemployment rates, a Democratic president, and charges of discrimination are among the control variables with model significance. Across the workforce, we are making progress toward more diversity, but significant issues remain, especially for nonwhite employees.
