Blacks
Blacks are underrepresented in S&E occupations. That is, a smaller proportion of blacks are in S&E occupations than are in the U.S. workforce as a whole (5% versus 12%). Among S&E occupations, blacks constitute a large share of social scientists and computer system analysts. Among non-S&E occupations, blacks account for a relatively large share of social workers; personnel, training, and labor relations specialists; and counselors.
