Welcome to Women in Business. Today, we’re tackling how women are navigating the ever-shifting economic landscape, with a laser focus on the tech industry. It’s 2025, and women are writing their own stories in tech, but the journey remains far from smooth. Let’s dive deep and get real about where women stand, the challenges faced, and the bright opportunities on the horizon.

Across the United States, women now hold about 35 percent of jobs in science, technology, engineering, and math. That’s a leap from just 9 percent in the early 2000s, but when you look at major companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft, the numbers vary—Amazon leads with 45 percent female employees, while others like Microsoft hover around 33 percent. And it’s not just about getting in the door; leadership is another hurdle entirely. At Google, for instance, only about 28 percent of leadership roles are held by women, and across the industry, women rarely make up more than a quarter of technical positions.

One reason for this lag is the persistent gap in STEM education. According to the National Science Foundation, only about 21 percent of computer science degrees go to women, and the numbers are even lower for women of color. These educational disparities feed directly into the workforce, making it harder for women to catch up when it comes to promotions and leadership roles—imagine, for every 100 men promoted to manager, only 87 women overall get the same opportunity, and the gap widens for women of color.

But that’s not the whole story. Women in tech also face internal challenges like imposter syndrome, affecting as many as 85 percent, according to Women in Tech Network’s Barriers to Leadership Survey. Add to that a lack of transparent promotion processes and limited access to crucial networking opportunities, and it’s easy to see why the glass ceiling still feels unbreakable for many talented women. In fact, 72 percent report experiencing gender bias affecting their leadership chances, while 56 percent have faced discrimination or harassment holding them back.

Yet, even with these obstacles, women are chipping away at the old boys’ club that is the tech industry. Newer tech hubs like Little Rock, Arkansas, and Columbia, South Carolina, are making real strides, sometimes outpacing even Silicon Valley in wage growth and representation. These shifting dynamics show how location, company culture, and community support can make all the difference for women aiming high in tech.

So, for this episode, here are five powerful points to fuel our discussion. First, progress and pitfalls in workforce representation—where women are showing up, and where the doors remain closed. Second, the STEM education gap and how early exposure sets the tone for future leadership. Third, internal and external challenges unique to women, from imposter syndrome to systemic bias. Fourth, the emerging hotspots and game-changing cities that empower women to lead in tech. And finally, we’ll explore the unique value women bring to tech and how mentorship, community, and policy changes can be the rocket fuel for true gender equity.
