IT Workforce Becoming More Male
Eric Chabrow writes in InformationWeek:
Fewer and fewer women are making up the American IT workforce, declining by 18.5% in eight years.
The percentage of women in the IT labor force fell last year to 32.4% from a high of 41% in 1996, according to new research [.pdf] from the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), an industry trade group. As a comparison, the percentage of women in the overall workforce remained virtually unchanged in that same period, at roughly 46%.
In addition, most racial minorities remain significantly underrepresented in the U.S. IT workforce, according to the report, Untapped Talent: Diversity, Competition, And America's High-Tech Future, which ITAA released Wednesday.
