Job Fields Business Women Are Dominating

In many fields women are doing quite well. But not necessarily in industries that are seen as traditionally "men's jobs." In fact, one long-term study (1990-1995), showed that 2,511 out of 3,200 first-time jobs for new Ph.D. holders in math-related fields went to men.

According to the Department of Labor, in 2007, the fields dominated by women (percent of jobs by profession, held by women) are still largely in industries of care giving, education, and administrative support.
