The average percentage of women in aerospace is ~13.4%
SpaceX has 14.1% female.
NASA has 35.5% women.
Boeing has 24.1% women.
Virgin Galactic has 25% women.
Blue Origin has 20% women.
Lockheed has 32% female.
Grumman has 24.5% female.
Raytheon has 29% female.
Maybe women in aerospace just don't want to work for Musk?
Where are those numbers from? I don't doubt them but it seems a bit weird that even the lowest outlier of these big aerospace companies is still above average for the industry. I guess this is just saying that smaller companies have even more difficulty hiring/retaining female workforce.
Self reporting as part of diversity quota. Most of them have female hire goals of around 30-35%. USBLS provided the average across aerospace.
What is curious is how some gave a "female" statistic, but others said "women".
Interesting.
Well more than average do but sure
