(CNN) Joe Biden's presidential campaign grew more diverse in its staffing over the summer months with people of color now making up nearly half of the campaign's full-time staff and women on the campaign growing in their majority. Forty-six percent of Biden's full-time staff are people of color, up from 35% percent when the campaign first reported its diversity data in June, according to new figures provided to CNN by a Biden campaign official. The number of women on the campaign also grew with 59% of full-time staff identifying as female, up from 53% in June. Fifty-six percent of senior staff are female, a slight decrease from the 58% of women who comprised senior staff in June. The new figures are reflective of 622 full-time Biden campaign staff, a campaign official said.
