While most growth indicators in tech have gone up, women's share of tech jobs has gone down since the 1990s. Women hold only 26% of computing jobs, and in the silicon valley, 88% of engineers are men. These numbers show that the boom in high-tech jobs has not been shared equally. How can we fix the rules of this lopsided game? Are you geared up for the workforce of the future, where diversity might become the only way to differentiate yourself from competitors? Following the appointment of diversity champion Henry Childs II to BayOne's Board of Advisors, we bring the latest on diversity in tech directly to you.
