Commitment 1: Increase representation of underrepresented groups
Status: Needs attention
While the racial and ethnic diversity of our U.S. workforce held steady compared to last year’s numbers, 5.4% more of our experienced new hires this year identify as members of underrepresented groups, as do 7.3% more of new college graduates joining Micron. We also increased representation of women in all job groups and increased overall female representation in Asia, with our sites in India, Malaysia and Taiwan now exceeding semiconductor industry benchmarks.
