Diversity and STEM: Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities 2023

A diverse workforce provides the potential for innovation by leveraging different backgrounds, experiences, and points of view. Innovation and creativity, along with technical skills relying on expertise in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), contribute to a robust STEM enterprise. Furthermore, STEM workers have higher median earnings and lower rates of unemployment, compared with non-STEM workers. This report provides high-level insights from multiple data sources into the diversity of the STEM workforce in the United States.

About Diversity and STEM

Diversity and STEM: Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities represents the federal government’s most comprehensive collection of data on diversity trends in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The purpose of the report is to provide statistical information about three groups—women, minorities, and persons with disabilities—who have been historically underrepresented in STEM. As mandated by the Science and Engineering Equal Opportunities Act (Public Law 96-516), the National Science Foundation through the NCSES publishes this report every 2 years to assess the current state of diversity in STEM employment and science and engineering (S&E) education. The analyses presented are relevant to policymakers, program managers, and researchers interested in the diversity and representation of women, minorities, and persons with disabilities in the U.S. S&E enterprise.
