Progress at Google is moving at the speed of a diligently curated spreadsheet: while the lines for women and non-binary representation are trending upwards, they're doing so with the cautious optimism of someone carrying a very full, yet not quite equitable, cup of coffee.

In 2022, LGBTQ+ self-identified 10.8% in surveyed regions Google

The rainbow at Google is spreading at a reassuringly persistent pace, with loyalty running high and leadership nearly matching overall representation, though the 'T' in LGBTQ+ is still waiting for its spotlight moment.

In 2022, Latino retention US 87.5% Google

Racial Ethnic Diversity Interpretation

While Google's slow-motion diversity crawl shows progress, with Blacks and Latinos inching forward like snails with better PR, the view from the executive suite still looks suspiciously like a 2016 tech conference.

Veterans Diversity

In 2023, Veterans represented 1.8% of Google's US workforce
In 2022, Veterans 1.6% US Google workforce
In 2021, Veterans workforce 1.4% US Google
