Cable's Diversity Efforts Still Don't Reach Upper Management Suite

With the biannual NAMIC diversity employment survey as a backdrop, several cable executives said the industry is improving its hiring of people of color, but still has a long way to go to fully reach its goals. Speaking Monday during the 22nd annual NAMIC Conference's opening general session, DiversityInc. co-founder Luke Visconti said while the industry is better than most industries in its overall hiring of minorities, he says the industry still has a ways to go, especially when compared to competitors like Verizon, AT&T and Sprint.
