Women and Men in STEM Often at Odds Over Workplace Equity

Discrimination and sexual harassment are seen as more frequent, and gender is perceived as more of an impediment than an advantage to career success. This report points out how STEM women have experienced gender discrimination at work, according to a nationally representative Pew Research Center survey with an oversample of people working in STEM jobs.
