Despite efforts to stake out a leadership position among technology companies striving to bring aboard more Hispanic and black employees, Pinterest has made little progress in reaching racial equality.As of 2018, Pinterest employed 96 Hispanic and 64 black workers out of a total workforce of 1,742. The percentage of Hispanic and black employees – 5.5% and 3.7%, respectively – did not budge in a statistically significant way from 2017.
At the top of the company, underrepresented minorities are nowhere to be found.
