8 out of 10 software engineering jobs are still going to men ... and that's a big improvement for women
Tech companies love to ponder the lack of women and they do take whatever actions seem logical to solve the issue. They contribute to girls-who-code programs, for instance. Occasionally, they resort to concrete measures to recruit more women.
And, according to new research from LinkedIn's Economist Guy Berger, some of the efforts appear to be working.
LinkedIn looked at the rate at which men and women have been hired since 2008 across 12 industries worldwide - with a detailed look at leadership positions and software engineers.
The research shows some definite progress for women making their careers in tech (as well as other industries). But it also had a few depressing statistics for people who care about gender diversity in tech.
