Interesting news from the Tech World (#WIT #Technology #employment)
Well, here's an interesting piece of news from the tech world:
"The best city for women in tech, according to the research, is Washington, D.C. In the nation's capital, about 37 percent of tech jobs are filled by women-compared with a national average of about 25 percent-and women in tech, on average, earn 93.3 percent of what men do. Perhaps that's not hugely surprising, given that an analysis of the Inc. 5000 showed Washington, D.C., to be the best city for women entrepreneurs."
Granted, that comes from the middle of this Slate.com article, but still, the overall article is a pretty good (and hopeful) read.
So who needs Silicon Valley anyway?
