White people comprised 84% of the publishing workforce last year - 2% less than in 2017 - according to a 700 person survey by Publishers Weekly. Non-white respondents were about twice as likely to say their work was unfulfilling (30%) and that they expect to be in the same position in their company in two years' time. Women still dominate the industry as 80% of its workers, compared to 19% who were men and 1% non-binary.
