Deloitte tops Big Four for racial diversity of US workforce
Deloitte has the most racially diverse workforce of the Big Four accounting firms in the US, an analysis of diversity and inclusion reports shows, following a hiring spree that swelled its employee numbers by almost a quarter.
Rival PwC, meanwhile, ranks as having the greatest percentage of female employees among the four firms, based on numbers it published on Monday, but the increase in women in the workforce has stalled.
The Big Four have touted progress towards diversity goals as they engage in a war for new recruits, but their latest reports continue to show significant underrepresentation of women and people from minority groups, particularly at the higher echelons of the firms. They also suggest that diverse candidates are not being promoted in sufficient numbers to quickly close the gap.
