Our workforce data
They gather all of that information AFTER a job offer has been made and accepted. Their workforce is diverse, because most 25-50-year-old white American males don't WANT to work for Amazaon. So they get a lot of women, a lot of immigrants (male and female), a lot of black people (male and female), and a lot of retirees and near-retirees. Of the white folks, many were veterans (they advertise that they encourage veterans and offer special programs for those who end up employees), or on some kind of public assistance.

In the sorting center I worked in as a temp, I was definitely the minority as the white middle-aged adult female who was not also a single mother, or receiving public assistance funding of any kind.
