As companies continue to focus on increasing gender diversity within their ranks, a query of more than 5,000 workers across the tech industry shows that both men and women slightly prefer to work with women over men.
Fifty-six percent of men and women say they prefer to work with women over men, according to the latest reading of an ongoing query by Comparably.
Little difference from a diversity perspective
The responses of workers of various ethnic groups were very similar. Fifty-eight percent of African American respondents say they prefer to work with women over men, just slightly more than any other ethnic group. Hispanic/Latino respondents had the lowest rate, at 54%.
18 to 25-year-olds are most likely to say they prefer working with women
People 18 to 25 had the highest rates of saying they prefer to work with women (61%). The rate slowly declined from there, hitting a low of 52% among workers aged 51 to 55.
Data is as of March 20.
