women decreased the same data like men.
The given table demonstrates the different jobs that males and females chose in New Zealand between 1993 and 2003.
Overall, males were more likely to work in IT fields, while females tended to work in the service sector. Moreover, other employment patterns fluctuated in both years.
The percentage of men employed in IT was the highest in 10 years, although in 2003, it slightly decreased by about 10%. In contrast, women only took 20% in 1993 and then presented a minimal growth at the end of this period. Farming was the second leading employment pattern for men, but it slightly declined from 75% to 65%. Conversely, women rose by 10% during the period. In addition, the service sector for men had the lowest figures in the table; however, it experienced an upward trend by 2003. Then, women were more active in this field than men, but after 10 years, the figure declined from 85% to 60%.
In terms of the remaining kinds of jobs, for males, manufacturing and building registrations saw a moderate fall from 55% to 52% and from 68% to 60%, respectively. However, the percentage of females choosing these two jobs rose slowly between 3–7%, unlike males. Furthermore, men had a different rate in the commerce sector compared to women, which gradually increased by about 5%, while the figure for women decreased by the same amount.
