Dr Ward pointed me towards a great infographic from Women Who Tech that highlights a bunch of great statistics on women in the workforce, particularly in technology fields.
A few highlights:
- The average social gamer is a 43 year old woman.
- 11% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women.
- 28% of all students holding a BS in Computer Science are woman, and at Harvard this number looks more like 41%.
- In Fortune 500 companies that have at least three female directors saw at least a 66% increase in return on invested capital.
- Women are starting companies in the US at a rate 1.5 faster than that of the national average.
