Women have lost ground when it comes to some geeky professions.
A study released yesterday by the US Commission on Professionals in Science and Technology found a decline in the share of computer science jobs held by women over the past couple of decades.
In 1983, women held 30.5 per cent of the jobs in the category of computer systems analysts and scientists, programmers and postsecondary computer science teachers, according to the commission. That figure declined to 27.2 per cent in 2002.
On the other hand, women have increased their share of jobs in the natural sciences and in engineering, according to the commission.
