Facebook's chief diversity officer Maxine Williams released its 2018 Diversity Report last week. This is the fifth time the company has published an annual diversity report.

Since 2014, the number of women at Facebook has increased from 31% to 36%.

"We have also nearly doubled the number of women graduates we hire in software engineering from 16% to 30%. This is despite the fact that the number of women undergraduates in the U.S. doing computer science has remained flat at 18%," Williams said in her report.

Veterans now make up 2% of the total number of employees.

For 2018, Facebook was awarded a 100% rating on the USBLN Disability Index. The US Business Leadership Network unites business around disability inclusion in the workplace, representing over 5,000 businesses.

Williams also said the percentage of US employees who self-identify as LGBQA+ or Trans+ has moved from 7% to 8% over the past year.

"A critical lesson we’ve learned is that recruiting, retaining and developing a diverse, inclusive workforce should be a priority from day one," Williams wrote. "The later you start taking deliberate action to increase diversity, the harder it becomes. We are encouraged by the progress we’ve made in some areas, and grateful for the advice and support we’ve had along the way. But we have so much more still to do across the board."
