The chart compares the percentage of male and female professionals in seven widely different career settings from Advertising to Law in 2007.
Overall, in half the jobs given, both genders were approximately equally represented, though in traditionally gender-dominated professions, stereotypes still persist.
From the outset there were dramatically more men than women in the traditionally male-dominated fields of construction and science with males holding 90 percent and 60 percent of jobs there respectively. Other fields seemed to break this trend. Men held exactly the same number of positions as women in Journalism, and both genders were almost equally represented in law and advertising jobs.
Like men, women held more jobs in the stereotypical female jobs of teaching and therapy. Women dominated the former field accounting for 90% of all positions in teaching, and therapy was similar with women holding 82% of all jobs as opposed to 18% for men. In roughly half of the occupations given, women held more or less an equal number of jobs to men.
