Black lawmakers push for diversity in Silicon Valley

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus flew to Silicon Valley to turn up the heat on the nation's largest tech companies to hire more African-American workers.

Caucus members are meeting with executives from Apple, Google, Intel, Pandora and SAP to ask for specifics on how these companies plan to fix their troubling hiring record. Rep Barbara Lee (D-CA) is leading the tour. Joining her is caucus Chairman G.K. Butterfield (D-NC), and Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). Major technology companies are predominantly staffed and run by white and Asian men. African Americans represent 2% or less of the work force at most of these companies — and not just in technical roles.
