Publisher's Weekly finally updated their annual salary & jobs survey and the results are grim and not surprising at all.

Read the whole thing but I'm pulling this graph of the racial makeup of publishing.

Notably, nonwhite respondants were very skeptical that this small push for diversity will continue.

If we want to change publishing we need to prove the efforts are worth it and BIPOC books SELL.
