Your logic is faulty, because the pool of engineering employees is (roughly) limited to engineering majors. Nobody is complaining that teachers and nurses are underrepresented in the tech industry.

Regardless, the true number is around 7-8%, as is helpfully noted elsewhere.

You're right, that was the problem :) In another of Dare's replies I checked just the engineering major numbers and the math checks out. I derped.
