Title: Will the New Tech Economy Solve the Old Economy's Racial Problems?

Citation Type: Miscellaneous

Publication Year: 2015

Abstract: Although more and more research shows that diversity is good for business, workforce statistics released by Silicon Valley technology companies show a startling lack of diversity. National statistics show higher unemployment rates for people of color with science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM, degrees than their white counterparts. At a time when STEM employment is increasingly important to the American economy, Americas old prejudices should not be allowed to hamper the nations future.
