Copied from Diversity in computing Computer science is one of the STEM fields, (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), and like many STEM fields in the United States, it has a problem maintaining a strong and diverse STEM pipeline.[1] Minorities and women, with the exception of Asians, are underrepresented in engineering and computer science fields.[2] With the population of women in the United States representing 50.8% of the total population,[3] they represent 25.6% of computer and mathematical occupations and 27% of computer and information systems manager occupations.[4] African Americans represent 13.4% of the population,[3] but represent 8.4% of computer and mathematical occupations.[4] Hispanic or Latino population is 18.3%,[3] but represents 7.5% of computer and mathematical occupations.[4] White people, represent 60.4%-76.5% of the population[3], represent 67% of computer and mathematical occupations and 77% of computer and information system information system manager occupations.[4] Asians, representing 5.9% of the population,[3] represent 22% of computer and mathematical occupations and 14.3% of computer and information system managers.[4]
