Facebook’s latest diversity figures barely budged from 2014’s, with almost every level of the company still dominated by white men. The report, which looks at the company’s workforce as of May 31, 2015, shows that 55 percent of the social network’s US workforce is white, 36 percent is Asian, 4 percent is Latino, 3 percent is “two or more races” and 2 percent is black. The company's current US workforce is slightly more diverse than 2014’s, when 57 percent were white and 34 percent were Asian. The other ethnic groups remained the same. On the gender front, change also came in modest amounts, with women making up 32 percentof the company's global workforce, up from 31 percent in 2014. In technical roles, women now account for 16 percent of the workforce, up from 15 percent in 2014.
