Title: where to find demographics for video game company employees?
Post by: shateredsoul on December 06, 2010, 12:11:57 am

gender, ethnicity, where they live, age... anyone know where I can find that kind of information for the video game industry?

Assuming you don't want to stalk each one individually, you could write a stupid quiz app for facebook (What kind of punctuation are you?  I'm an ellipsis!) and steal all their information from there.

census?
If you root around in the census bureau site enough you can find some info - employment #'s per sector, age, sex, etc - maybe not specific enough for what you're looking for though.

some but not all of the info you seek is available from Gamasutra's yearly industry survey:

uhhh, unfortunately I can't find any newer one than 2003!

Thanks! this is a start.  Wish it also had ethnic breakdown but it does have gender. Yeah i know it sounds hard to find, but i swear I once found a federal website for the statistics across jobs in the USA.  Or did someone tell me about it?  hmm...
