Lawyer, social scientist and architect are very white jobs, but they've got nothing on veterinarian. With more companies posting more information about the composition of their payroll, a more detailed understanding of workplace diversity is emerging.

Overall, 81 percent of the workforce is white, but there are 33 occupations in America that are more than 90 percent white. When it comes to professions with outsized shares of minorities, blacks are overrepresented in community and social-service occupations (as well as barbers and postal-service clerks).

Hispanics are overrepresented in construction, maintenance and agriculture work.
