Congressional Staff Is Even Less Diverse Than Congress

New York Times: “House aides write federal policy and multitrillion-dollar budgets, oversee the administration of government and shape the public’s view of Congress, but the top staff members of the House of Representatives are far less racially diverse than the country itself — or even the lawmakers who employ them.”

“Just 13.7% of top staff members in the House are people of color… That compares with 38% of the country as a whole, and 23% of the House.”
