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".
