The technology industry has long been plagued not just by allegations of a gender gap but also by a broad lack of inclusiveness that affects minorities too. Google said Monday that the increase in Black and Hispanic employees outpaced the company's overall hiring growth, but made up for only 2 per cent and 3 per cent of total workforce, respectively.

As of December 31, Google had 53,600 full-time employees.
