but isn't this inline with the original article?

> Blacks made up 7 percent of U.S. high-tech workforce, and just 3 percent of the total Silicon Valley workforce.

4% of the degrees are granted to members of the AA community, 3% of the jobs in SV are given to them.

i guess SV companies recruit from the top graduates. it would be interesting to know the percentage of AA of say the top 10% graduates in the STEM fields.

as others have pointed out, this doesn't mean that things are OK. it just shifts the focus from the hiring companies to the education system
