African Americans are underrepresented in STEAM fields. According to a report released by the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education in February, Blacks made up just 9% of all workers in science, technology, engineering, and math fields despite being 12% of the U.S. adult population. About 18% of all Black workers were employed in STEM fields compared to 25% of all White workers and 39% of Asian workers.
