| > Assuming everyone who graduated with a CS degree from the US was hired at an equivalent then one would expect something closer to 7%-8%. When I look at the data, I see that 2.5% of graduates are black. I'm looking at PhD, Master's or Bachelor's in CS in 2015.[1] The totals exclude those with unknown ethnicity: 15 black CS PhDs out of 1442 110 black CS Master’s out of 8,923 425 black CS Bachelor’s out of 11,974 (15+110+425) / (1442+8923+11974) = ~0.0246 [1] 2015 Taulbee Survey, Computing Research Association http://cra.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2015-Taulbee-Surve... EDIT: I believe one big source of the difference between our numbers is whether you count "Information" degrees as a CS degree. My number only looks at "Computer science" degrees, whereas your data looks at "Computer sciences" degrees. |
