in STEM
fields is
expected to keep growing rapidly, but
women are currently very underrepresented, accounting for less than a quarter of employees
in the STEM workforce, according to a report by the Economics and Statistics Administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The number of

As

women are underrepresented
in college majors, graduate school programs, and professional
fields that are the most mathematically - intensive, such as geoscience, engineering, economics, mathematics / computer science, and the physical sciences (GEEMP).
