Employment in the publishing industry in the United States was made up mostly by straight or heterosexual people in 2019, with this group accounting for 81 percent of the publishing workforce. Bi and pansexual employees had greater representation than people who identified as gay, lesbian, or asexual, but there remain calls for greater diversity in U.S. publishing, not only when it comes to sexual orientation but also for employees from minority ethnic groups and those with disabilities.
