I really want to know the opposite question of this -- how many percent of qualified {hispanics, blacks, women, trans people, etc} are employed and receive {compensation, perks} relative to their peers?
This is a tricky question for senior/principle software people, but perhaps as a proxy, we could look at the number of new grads at the Bachelor's, Master's and PhD levels that are employed {six months prior, one month prior, one month after, six months after} graduation, as broken down by gender and ethnicity.
For example, if 95% of women are hired by one month before graduation day, that would suggest that we need to be looking at an earlier point in the pipeline (educating parents, additional funding at the elementary or high school level, teaching boys how to not sexually harass girls in middle school, etc.). On the other hand, if 20% of women are hired by six months after graduation day, then maybe that means there's something funny going on during the hiring process.
- ggchappell 12y agoThat is an excellent idea. It would also be worthwhile to know the general field of employment; in particular, is it one to which the qualifications of interest are relevant.
