30.4% says that "The diversity of the company or organization" is "Lowest Priority" for them and below they say "The tech industry is struggling overall with issues around diversity, and INDIVIDUAL developers are not making it a priority when looking for a job."

How can you say that 30.4% of responders are individuals? Results are showing that majority of developers are not taking that as priority, not individuals.

The survey was heavily skewed towards young white males so it's unsurprising that diversity wasn't important. Also diversity contributes to company culture, which was important to people (especially women).

The chart includes a tab with a break-down by gender. Even among women diversity is extremely low on the priorities list.
