Study: Top tech firms bypassing Asian workers for exec jobs
Last Updated On 06 May,2015
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A new study says major technology companies are far more likely to hire Asians as computer programmers than to promote them to become managers or executives.
The analysis released Wednesday uncovered a glaring imbalance between the number of Asian technology workers in non-management jobs and the number in leadership positions in Silicon Valley.
Ascend, a group focused on Asian business issues, based its findings on 2013 employment data from five Silicon Valleycompanies: Google, Yahoo, Intel, Hewlett-Packard and LinkedIn.
The companies didn t directly respond to Ascend s report, but say they are trying to diversify.
Ascend s findings may raise more questions about ethnic and gender biases in Silicon Valley at a time when the technology industry is already under attack for its hiring practices.
