• By the year 2050, 85% of the entrants into the workforce will be people of color and women.
• Women and girls across America are benefiting from efforts to promote Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, (STEM) degrees and careers because women who hold STEM degrees and jobs earn 30% more, on average, than women in non-STEM jobs.
• Census information covering the years 2000 to 2010 reportedly shows that careers that are more than 70% female, including teacher, bank teller, cashier, and legal assistant, accounted for almost a third of all job growth among men. By the end of 2010, the number of men in pink collars was twice what it was in the 1990s.
