STEM jobs are on the rise, in fact,  there will be 1.4 million new computer science jobs by 2020.

• These new jobs pay better, 33% more than non-STEM positions.
• Women are the perfect candidates for these new jobs. Women hold a greater percentage of all bachelor’s degrees,
• Unfortunately, they also hold an increasingly smaller percentage of computer science degrees with just 18 percent in 2012 as compared to 37 percent in 1984.
• Women represent 48 percent of the workforce but only a quarter of STEM and IT careers.
• When women are in positions of leadership, there is a 35% higher return on equity and 34% better return to shareholders.

So let’s get some more women into the roles they can be qualified to fill.

At PBWC tomorrow, a group of Senior Women will continue the work to change the game.   Tell me what you will do!!
