Event Navigation

While the energy industry has made progress toward diversification, more work is needed.
According to the 2021 Diversity in the U.S. Energy Workforce Report from the National Association of State Energy Officials, the energy sector has a below-average proportion of women in the workforce. Only 25 percent of energy workers are female, compared to an overall average of 47 percent across the nation. The energy sector has below-average representation of Hispanic and African American workers. Only eight percent of energy workers are Black, and Hispanic individuals comprise 16 percent of energy workers. In a new survey conducted by Pride in Energy, findings show that almost 35% of workers in the energy industry have witnessed or experienced discrimination based on gender identity or sexual orientation in the last five years. Fewer than half of surveyed energy workers across race and ethnicity were optimistic about their company’s diversity and inclusion in recruitment, hiring, promotion, and leadership roles.
