Amazon.com released a report on Friday regarding its employee diversity that reveals that majority of its employees are white and male, similar to findings by the tech industry leaders like Facebook and Google.
According to the report, 63 percent of Amazon's workforce is men while over a half of that, 37 percent are women.
Among Amazon's managers, the gender gap is even wider, with 75 percent of managers being men.
Amazon also said that 60 percent of its employees is white-its largest minority group, while African Americans contributes to 15 percent of the company's workforce.
Other tech companies like Silicon Valley have received particularly rash feedbacks on the culture and message the big tech leaders are emanating. According to advocates, the increasing trend of the "bro-grammer" culture discourages both women and minorities.
With this new report about company workforce diversity, the Seattle-based e-commerce behemoth will likely face that criticism as well.
One advocate group, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition has already demanded Amazon to address its widening gender gap issues and has also asked for a more detailed report from the tech giant regarding the issue.
"Their general workforce data released by Amazon seems intentionally deceptive, as the company did not include the race or gender breakout of their technical workforce," the group said in a statement.
"The broad assumption is that a high percentage of their Black and Latino employees work in their warehouses," the advocate group continued.
Meanwhile, the report Amazon released stressed the company's efforts in making its workplace more inclusive and welcoming. The company said it had created affinity groups for Asians, women, blacks and Latinos to help bolster career and professional development opportunities within the organization.
Furthermore, Amazon also stated that it is continually finding means and ways to aid STEM education in local schools to promote a diverse skillset for jobs in the technology industry.
