For women, non-manual roles accounted for the majority of employment. Managerial and professional jobs made up 29%, while clerical and related work formed a slightly larger share at 31%, making it the most common category for females. Other non-manual roles represented 9%. In contrast, manual occupations were less common among women: 27% worked in other manual positions, 3% in craft or similar roles, and only 1% were general labourers.
Among men, the largest proportion also worked in managerial and professional occupations (36%), which was notably higher than the figure for women. However, clerical and related roles accounted for only 6% of male employment, far lower than female participation in the same sector. Men were much more heavily represented in manual work, with 26% in other manual jobs and a significant 24% in craft or similar roles. General labourers made up 2% of male employment.
In summary, women were primarily employed in clerical and non-manual sectors, while men not only had a higher share in professional roles but were also far more likely to work in manual occupations, particularly craft-related jobs.
