African Americans Underrepresented In The Cybersecurity Field
According to data from the United States Department of Labor which publishes the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), ‘Black or African-American’ people make up only 3% of the information security analysts in the U.S.
There’s either a typo in the Bureau’s figures — or there’s something wrong. BLS updates the employment numbers every other year, and their latest for the ten year period 2014-2024 were published on the BIS.gov website in December of 2015.
BLS states information security analysts jobs are expected to grow 18% through 2024. The position is involved with combating hackers who break into corporate networks.
