Strengthening and Diversifying the Federal STEM Workforce
The report analyzes the federal STEM workforce, noting that while staffing levels at agencies like the EPA and FWS returned to 2017 levels by 2022, significant capacity gaps and burnout persist. It highlights systemic underrepresentation of BIPOC, LGBTQQIA, and disabled individuals, rooted in historical injustices and maintained by barriers such as pay gaps, hostile work environments, and inefficient hiring processes. The authors recommend expanding partnerships with Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs), reforming compensation to be competitive with the private sector, and institutionalizing DEIA through data-driven accountability and inclusive organizational cultures.
