The National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT) released their report "Women in IT: The Facts" today, examining the current state of affairs for women working in IT and computing careers. The report addresses some of the reasons why women leave the industry at staggering rates and what companies can do to attract and retain them.

Women who do work in the tech sector have an attrition rate that is more than double that of men. The NCWIT report contends that 56% of women in technology companies leave their organizations at the mid-level point (10-20 years) in their careers, a costly loss of talent. Simply reducing this attrition rate by one quarter would add over 200,000 workers to the IT talent pool.
