Additionally, males had more jobs than their female counterparts. Furthermore, there were more male wage earners in Iceland in the two years compared to the other nations.

In the same year, Switzerland recorded the largest number of working females at almost 55. All the other nations had fewer than 50 ladies in the working sector, with New Zealand recording the lowest with about 25 female job holders.
