In the last hour of the month, three of every five workers added to its roll in the U.S. were people of color in laborer jobs, suggesting the company weathered the pandemic s surge in online shopping thanks to members of racial groups that are underrepresented in the retailer's corporate ranks.

Employers are required to submit that data, which breaks down their U.S. workforce by racial and gender groups and standardized job categories, to the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission annually.

In the past two years, Amazon has publicly demonstrated diversity goals aimed at making the company look more like society as a whole, including increasing the number of women in senior technical jobs and doubling the number of black employees. The company also faces several lawsuits by women who have alleged harassment, discrimination and bullying. Amazon has denied wrongdoing.

The Seattle-based e-commerce giant employed about 379,000 more people in the U.S. in October 2020 than it did a year earlier, according to the reports. Some of this figure likely reflects new hiring, but the period also coincides with a few highly organized hiring surges in Amazon s logistics ranks as the company sought to keep up with dramatic demand from domestic shoppers.

Hispanic, Asian, and other minority laborers Helpers accounted for 61% of the additional employees, the data show. Advocates for gender representation in corporate America have pushed companies to proactively release that data. Amazon previously made public some of the forms, known as EEO-1 but stopped the practice after changing data covering 2016. Since then, Walmart Inc. has added almost 800,000 U.S. employees, becoming the second largest employer behind the company pledged to make public its EEO - 1. Amazon also regularly posted its own demographic data for employees on its own websites.

The federal data show Amazon is far more diverse in its warehouses than the technologists, product designers, and other experts in its corporate ranks whose vast majority of employees identify as White or Asian in terms of identity. In 2020, a third of black employee ratio in Amazon s workforce Helpers category accounted for, but 11% of managers and 3.6% of executives.

The latter figures suppositionally represent an increase from 2019 yet. People of color accounted for 42% of the additions to Amazon executive ranks in 2020.

In 2020, women made up about 46% of Amazon's total U.S. workforce including about 29% of people in Amazon executive management and executive ranks.

Amazon last year told the New York City s Comptroller that it would release its EEO - 1 form, one among dozens of companies that agreed to greater transparency following a pressure campaign from the office overseeing the city s pension funds.
