10 large Bay Area tech companies employ no Black women, study finds
A new study released Tuesday by San Jose State University reveals a staggering level of inequality and lack of diversity at tech companies in Silicon Valley.
The Silicon Valley Pain Index shows that while "10 large tech companies" employ zero Black women, the net worth of the top 10 richest Silicon Valley figures, all of whom are white men, is $248 billion.
San Jose State professor Dr. Scott Myers-Lipton, who led the research, told SFGATE that "these statistics show that white supremacy is operating in most all of the institutions and systems in Silicon Valley."
