  1. STEM Careers Can Be Just Right for Many Women. • Men outnumber women in most STEM careers. For example, just 17 percent of chemical engineers and 22 percent of environmental scientists are women. • But that doesn't mean it's hard for women to get jobs in those fields. In fact, many companies want to hire and keep qualified women for STEM jobs. • Many STEM fields have an even mix of men and women. Others have more women than men. For example: • Database administrators are 37 percent women. • Biological scientists are 46 percent women. • Clinical laboratory technologists are 78 percent women.
