This question is about employment discrimination statistics.
Who is affected the most by workplace discrimination?
Minorities are affected most by workplace discrimination. Any worker who's a different gender, race, etc., from the majority of their co-workers and employers is more likely to face workplace discrimination.
That's why one-fourth of Black workers, who make up only 12.6% of the workforce, report that they've experienced employment discrimination within the past 12 months. Of those workers, 75% say they were discriminated against based on their race.
This same logic can also be applied to female workers in STEM fields. Because only 27% of STEM workers are women, they face discrimination at much higher rates. In fact, 50% of women and 62% of postgraduate women working in STEM fields report being discriminated against due to their gender.
