Twitter says it has "a lot of work to do" in diversifying its workforce.
That statement comes in a company blog post by Janet Van Huysse, Twitter's vice president of diversity and inclusion. After presenting employee demographic data in two charts, Van Huysse writes: "We are keenly aware that Twitter is part of an industry that is marked by dramatic imbalances in diversity — and we are no exception."
What she is referring to are the following two sets of data, one that shows 70 percent of the company's roughly 3,000 employees are male and the other showing 59 percent are white.
