Technology & STEM: The industry building the next century, on the most narrow bench.
Software engineers. AI/ML researchers. Hardware engineers. Product managers. Eight percent Latino in a field that is building the systems we will all depend on by 2045.
Latino representation across sub-occupations.
Gold line = 19.5% U.S. Latino population parity (Census ACS 2023). Each row sourced individually below.
Primary source: NSF NCSES (2024). Diversity and STEM: Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities.
