Long Beach’s Tech Workforce

This study by Angela Mishky investigates the equity gap in Long Beach's tech workforce. The research uses both quantitative data on wages and representation across different demographics and qualitative interviews with stakeholders, including companies, nonprofits, and government agencies. It reveals that women are significantly underrepresented in the Long Beach tech workforce, despite the city's growth in technology and aerospace industries. The study recommends a variety of actions for stakeholders, including corporations, the public sector, and ecosystem partners, to address the equity gap and create a more inclusive and equitable tech workforce in Long Beach.
