The chart illustrates the distribution of Australian employees according to their job type and sex for the past year.
Overall, We can see that some job types employ both genders with roughly equal numbers of workers, that being high or low numbers compared to each other, whilst other jobs tend to have a large gap between the number of male and female employees.
Professional and clerical job types employ the largest amount of people and tend to attract both genders equally, with the former employing about 700 000 worker of each gender and the latter employing almost a million females and about 900000 male workers.
Semi-Professionals and labourers also employ both genders equally, however the number of workers leading these types of jobs are significantly less then the first group.
The rest of the observed profession types greatly favor male employees, both production and managing fields employ more men then women with fairly large gaps of 400000 employees each with tradespeople having the largest gap of 800 000 employees between males and females.
