Hispanic Americans are glaringly underrepresented among the ranks of scientists and those in allied professions, says a new Pew Research study.
Hispanic adults make up 17% of the U.S. workforce but just 8% of those working in a science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) job.
Since 2010, there has been an increasing share of Hispanic students attending and graduating from college as well as a rise in the share earning a bachelor’s degree in a STEM field.
Even so, Hispanic students remain underrepresented among college graduates and in master’s and doctoral degree-earners in STEM.
