Utah shows by far the largest gap in the nation between male and female college graduation rates.
Utah women graduate from business and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) programs substantially below their national peers (~20% in Utah vs ~30% nationally).
Women in STEM jobs earned 33 percent more than comparable women in non-STEM jobs. As a result, the gender wage gap is smaller in STEM jobs than in non-STEM jobs.
1.1 million computer specialist job openings are expected in the U.S. by 2024. At the current rate, only 45% of these jobs could be filled by U.S. computing bachelor's degree recipients.
