对计算机科学家的需求正在增长，但美国计算机科学学位的产量一直在下降，未来十年我们可能会面临计算机劳动力短缺的问题。近年来，美国女性获得的计算机学位不到20%，非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔美国人和美洲原住民获得的计算机科学和工程学位不到8%。妇女参与率低和少数群体代表性不足不仅导致计算机科学家短缺，而且还通过减少多样性带来的丰富观点而阻碍了学科内的创造力。因此，招聘和留住妇女和代表性不足的少数民族在计算是一个重要的问题，计算教育工作者。
The demand for computer scientists is growing, but production of CS degrees in the US has been declining and we may face a shortage in the computing workforce in the next decade. In recent years, women earned fewer than 20 percent of computing degrees in the US, and African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans combined earned fewer than 8 percent of computer science and engineering degrees. The low participation of women and underrepresented minorities not only contributes to the shortage of computer scientists but also hampers creativity within the discipline by reducing the richness in perspectives that would accompany diversity. Therefore, recruiting and retaining women and underrepresented minorities in computing is an important issue for computing educators.
