Race imbalance in STEM fields

Employed adults, by workforce, educational attainment, and race and ethnicity: 2019.[1]

According to the the National Science Board's "The STEM Labor Force Today: Scientists, Engineers, and Skilled Technical Workers" (2021), which provides statistical data on the U.S. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics labor force, people of color remain underrepresented in STEM occupations.[1]

The National Science Foundation's "Women, Minorites, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering"[2] (2021) report presents statistical information on the eduational attainment and employment of women, underrepresented racial minorities (URM) infields.
