Based on these statements, would that mean that there is no cause for concern; while female engineers over-represent the percentage of CS majors?

- adventured 12y agoWhat does CS majors have to do with it? Engineers capable of working at Google != majoring in computer science. Computer science degrees are handed out like cracker jack prizes these days. Men graduate college at a lower rate than women, graduate high school at a lower rate, and have a lower literacy rate. What does that have to do with the specific pool of talent from which an uber engineering company like Google would pull from?
- mbrubeck 12y agoThat seems to be a non-sequitur, but in any case: 17% of "tech" employees at Google are women (worldwide): http://www.google.com/diversity/at-google.html#tab=tech http://www.google.com/diversity/at-google.html#tab=tech 18% of CS degrees are earned by women (in the US): http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d12/tables/dt12_349.asp http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d12/tables/dt12_349.asp so women are not in in fact over-represented among Google engineers, at least by that measure.
