2Technical includes employees in Engineering, Data Science (Analytics) and Information Technology teams, not including Executive Assistants and Team Coordinators.
3Leadership includes employees Level 12 (which generally includes the equivalent of Director) and above.
4In 2021, we began to allow employees to self-report gender identity (US and Canada). We look forward to providing additional data in the future.
5Underrepresented minority is defined as individuals who identify as Black and/or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, American Indian or Alaska Native, and two or more races inclusive of URM. Race and ethnicity data is self-reported by employees, and Airbnb seeks to honor our employees’ self-identification. As such, employees who select more than one race/ethnicity category are counted in each category they select. For example, if an employee selects both “Black” and “Asian,” they are included in both categories. As a result, the total representation reflected in this table adds up to more than 100%. When reporting the overall population of Airbnb employees who identify as underrepresented minorities, however, each employee is counted only once.
6In categories that have at least one employee but are still representatively small, data has been redacted to protect individual privacy. We have marked those fields with **.
7“Two or More Races” is an option employees may select when they input their race/ethnicity data. Employees who select “Two or More Races” and also select an underrepresented minority race or ethnicity are included in “Two or More Races – URM.” Employees who select “Two or More Races” and also select “White” or no other categories are included in “Two or More Races – non-URM.” Employees are only included in the “Two or More Races” category if they select it. Employees who select two or more race/ethnicity categories but do not select “Two or More Races” are not included in the “Two or More Races” category.
*Certain elements of our underrepresented minority and gender representation figures are undergoing external assurance, which may lead to changes in our methodology and/or results.
