US EditionLetter to the Editor: Diversity Equity Inclusion
- Thousands of U.S. workers in diversity, equity, and inclusion roles face a shrinking job market after widespread layoffs and policy rollbacks since early 2023.
- This contraction follows years of growing DEI efforts doubled over five years, followed by political backlash, including executive orders banning DEI practices and corporate policy reversals.
- The DEI retreat disproportionately affects women—comprising over 71% of these roles—and people of color, while companies committed to DEI still tend to hire more diverse workforces.
- Candace Byrdsong Williams, laid off last August, described the DEI job market as a “toxic wasteland” and noted the difficulty finding roles amid this political climate.

Beyond the backlash: What evidence shows about the economic impact of DEI
DEI has a long history. Nora Carol Photography via Getty ImagesFew issues in the U.S. today are as controversial as diversity, equity and inclusion – commonly referred to as DEI. Although the term didn’t come into common usage until the 21st century, DEI is best understood as the latest stage in a long American project. Its egalitarian principles are seen in America’s founding documents, and its roots lie in landmark 20th-century efforts such as…
At NPR, DEI Job Cuts Crush 'People of Color,' Blue-Collar Work Just 'Romanticized'
As its own future comes under threat by the Trump administration, a juxtaposition on National Public Radio's homepage Tuesday (see photo) unwittingly showed just what kind of job losses NPR has sympathy for -- DEI woke-work, not the manufacturing jobs that actually involve making things, and which happen to employ many Trump voters. “Corporate America's retreat from DEI has eliminated thousands of jobs” is an expanded “digital feature” version o…
