Professional Diversity
Network will release its Diversity Jobs Report this Thursday, February 6. The
report contains statistical data about the nation’s employment situation by
gender and race, as well as information relevant to the employment conditions
for women, veterans, and disabled persons.
The Diversity Jobs Report
will also include detailed reporting on the employment condition of the
previous month broken down by four categories—worker groups, geography,
industry, and education—and subcategories within those.
The worker category looks at
employment of veterans, disabled persons, women, Hispanics, African Americans,
Asians, and people in the LGBT community. The geography category covers nine
geographical regions, the industry category looks at 14 different segments, and
the education category looks at those with and without college degrees.
Professional Diversity
Network is also releasing its first Diversity Jobs Index (DJI) as part of the
report, which is an indicator of the employment condition for diverse Americans
including Hispanic, African American, and Asian American professionals. The DJI
is calculated using numerous data points from Fortune 1,000 companies that
currently use Professional Diversity Network’s web-based diversity recruitment
platforms. The DJI uses this proprietary client data to assess demand for
diverse talent and compare how it relates to the nation’s overall employment
situation.
“The Diversity Jobs Report
will complement the information provided in the Department of Labor’s
Employment Situation report and will provide important economic data points for
companies interested in diversity recruitment,” said Kevin M. Williams, chief
marketing officer of Professional Diversity Network. “Our analysts are taking a
deep dive into data relative to diversity employment from numerous government
and public resources and combining it with proprietary information from clients
who utilize our diversity recruitment platform.”
“Professional Diversity
Network is dedicated to improving the employment condition of all Americans and
providing economic opportunity that helps decrease the nation’s wealth gap,”
Williams added. “We are investing in the creation of the DJI to better inform
and educate employers. By providing a national snapshot against which to
analyze their internal diversity workforce levels, the DJI can help companies
effectively achieve their diversity recruitment goals.”
