I just noticed we've had nearly equal replies of women and men to this post. ;-)
I pulled a few stats from the survey Jennifer mentioned http:// www.alistapart.com/articles/2007surveyresults It was responded by:82.8% Male, 16.1% Female, 1.1% No answer, 84.6% White Page 30 shows the gender breakdown by title. Overall was 16.3% female and 83.7% male. The survey calls out the following stats: • Women make up significantly greater percentages of the information architects (22.8%), usability experts (24.7%), web producers (24.5%), and writers/editors (41.6%) than they do of other titles. • Women comprise significantly lesser percentages of developers (7.2%) and web directors (12.6%). • Women comprise slightly lesser percentages of creative directors (14.3%) and interface designers (14.5%). Page 41 identifies gender stats by organization, salary range by gender (fewer women making the higher-end salaries and more women earning the lower-end salaries). Hard to say whether this accurately represents the community since it's self-reporting. ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
