The arc, in one table
| Academic year | Women's share of US computer science bachelor's degrees |
|---|---|
| 1983–84 — the peak | 37.1% |
| 1984–85 | 36.8% |
| 1985–86 | 35.7% |

Computed from the degree counts published in NCES Digest of Education Statistics Table 325.35, which covers computer and information sciences. The table prints counts, not shares, so these percentages are our arithmetic on its numbers and can be checked against it directly.
Distance in Oregon
21 of Oregon's 36 counties sit outside every metropolitan area. Distance changes which routes are physically reachable, and it lands hardest on anyone whose schedule is already spoken for by work or caregiving. The commuting zone named on each county page is the right search radius, and evening, weekend and online sections are the part of the catalog most often missed.
What Oregon runs on
Of 36 counties, the most common economic types are tourism and recreation (9), government (6), farming (5). Where the employers are hospitality, food service and seasonal trades, the technical work already here is the systems those operations run on, scheduling, inventory, dispatch, compliance, and that is a reachable first job.
What is already paid for
- WIOA — federal training money through your local workforce board, in every county, and displaced homemakers are a named category in that system. Not a loan. CareerOneStop.
- Registered apprenticeships — a wage from the first day. apprenticeship.gov.
- Pell grants — do not have to be repaid, and most families who qualify never file. studentaid.gov.
- Dual enrollment — college credit on a high school transcript, funded by most states.
- Employer tuition reimbursement and certification vouchers — among the least-claimed benefits in American employment. Ask in writing.
Programme names, amounts and deadlines change. These are the doors; verify current terms with the source before counting on a number.
