Google's workforce saw its largest growth of Black and Latinx representation last year

• Google has published its latest annual diversity report, which shows promising progress.
• The report says Google had the "best hiring year yet for women globally," as well as Black+ and Latinx+ hires in the U.S.
• However, female employees are still underrepresented compared to male employees.

Black and Latinx employees are not represented in the workforce. The company hired more Black and Latinx employees over the last year.

The chief diversity officer at the search giant wrote in a post that the company has seen its largest increases in representation of Black and Latin.

Black employees are up from 4.4% in the previous report, but still underrepresented compared to white and male employees. Latinx employees increased from 6.4% last year to 6.9%.

The rate at which the leadership representation of Black, Latinx and Native American employees grew was 27 percent.
