But its only IT\Software development where diversity is required

While it's easy to ballpark some of these... I'd like to see this side-by-side with each sector's average income, and average mortality and suicide rates.

That might require a breakdown by job, though, not just sector.

Basically a good way to rank the physical danger/strain of a particular job.

That kindergarten stat really bothers me. It's no wonder boys are struggling so much at the elementary level.

Funny, from all their caterwauling I'd swear the top jobs for men would be CEO, scientist, politician, etc.

And the jobs that have virtually no men seem like pretty decent middle class (safe) jobs.

I love all the feminists who say we're headed for the end of men. Who exactly would pave their roads, get water to their homes, service their cars or get them electricity?

TomHicks · 2014-11-30T17:12:17+00:00

And how many of these do feminists want to make gender equal?

I did roofing for a few years. Can confirm.

There were none on work sites building houses, period.

What would be nice, infographically, is a corresponding column with median annual salary/wage for each of those areas.

So, what conclusions I draw from this? - If men stop doing what they do, the world ends.

Not a bad graph but could you include a source? I'm not especially disbelieving (beyond a usual healthy dose of skepticism) but if I ever want to reference this somewhere, it'd be nice to know where it came from.

fireinthedarkness · 2014-11-30T17:25:09+00:00

I was wondering, it seems that there are waaay more job types that are >50% male than the other way around. I was wondering how many jobs are in each half, does anyone know? I'd understand a bit more that feminists complained if there are A LOT more jobs in the ''male'' half.

VelocityMax · 2014-12-01T04:16:53+00:00

I wonder why feminists are not advocating for more female roofers?

notarapist72 · 2014-12-01T05:40:44+00:00

> Welders 94%

...yup

eletheros · 2014-12-01T01:22:19+00:00

I hereby "demand" (snicker) that all jobs falling outside the ..say.. 40-60% range immediately implement quotas such that no position may be filled by anyone who does not push the industry into that 40-60% range.

What this would do:

Basically, the economy would shutdown as the 90%+ jobs which are a all the dangerous jobs can't fill positions. Few woman would take the jobs at any price.
Jobs in the 60-90% range, the "unappealing, boring" jobs will find payment raises rise as minimum salaries have to be hiked up until enough women pursue them.
Men wanting the variety of easier, less dangerous, jobs at the < 40% level will find them available and not have their applications instantly round filed.

McFeely_Smackup · 2014-12-01T01:05:41+00:00

I wonder if this could have something to do with the wage gap.

Nah, I'm sure that's an unrelated issue of sexism.

Notice that in more risky jobs, above 90% of workers are men.
