Essential Question
• What’s behind women taking over male
dominant jobs, while they are still being
stereotyped, and why is there a pay gap
related to the gender of males and females?
– Women are the new men and are taking over
what used to be male dominant workplaces
– Even though women are occupying male jobs,
there is a pay gap between males and females
Stereotypes in the society
Males
• Head of the house
• Hard, physical labor
• Far from home,
traveling
• Outdoors
Females
• Stay at home
• Cook, clean
• Take care of
children
• Unable to do
physical demanding
jobs
Development Early On
• Not the first time women have occupied male
jobs
– World War II
• Factory jobs
• Typical male jobs being filled by females
• Start women’s right’s movement
– Gained the right to vote in 1920’s
• No longer going to be mistreated, going to
make a change in social normality
Women’s Employment
• In 2012 the workforce was made up of 53.7%
women
– Women have 8% unemployment rate
– Five million still stay at home moms
• Starting to outnumber males to college
– For every two males who receive a bachelor’s
degree, three females receive the same degree
– graduating degree rate
of 135 females to 100
males

6th – Material transportation supervisors
5th – Insurance and money guidance

As of 2010
Female Postal Workers
• Between 2000 to 2010
• 50,000 males lost their jobs
• 13,000 females filled their positions
– Females make up 40% of postal service
• Decline of 8% in male employment
Female Education Administrators

education parole in past decade
• Decline of 11.6% in male employment
Female Tax Examiners
• In 2009, made up almost 70% of all employees
• 15,000 males lost their jobs
• 27,000 filled their positions
• Decline of 19.7% in male employment
– Expected to double in next decade
Female Veterinarians
• Number one job females are taking over
• Men are now the minority of the workforce
• 10,000 males lost their jobs
• 23,000 females filled their positions
• Decline of 25.7% in male employment
Women Changing the Economy
• Women are breaking what was socially
normality and dominating traditional male
occupations
• According the experts, women will soon be
the majority of the workforce in the upcoming
years
• Role models for young women and girls
Reasons why Females are
Taking Over
• Recession
• 82% of job loss during recession was males
not females
– Especially manufacturing and construction
• Females are also dominated jobs that used to
be done at home
• Better qualities and skills that males just don’t
have
• New economy
– Based on skills and education not manufacturing
What is the Pay Gap?
• A pay gap is the difference in pay between
two groups (males and females)
• Current pay gap
– 77 cents for every dollar earned
– Females only earn 77% of what a male earns
Yearly Wage for Male and Female
Male – $49, 398
Female – $37, 791
Reasons for Pay Gap
• Discrimination
• Higher vs. lower pay job
• Part-time or full-time job
• Amount of hours work in a week/year
• How labor demanding is the job
• Experience and education level
• Time with company
• Individual differences
• No health insurance (females)
Gender Pay Gap
A movement has been started
• Equal Pay Act of 1963
• Equal Pay Day each year
• Barack Obama
– Equal Pay Bill
– Addressed in his State of the Union Speech
• Both males and females are standing up for
women’s rights
Women Making a Change
• Barack Obama
• Michelle Obama
• Hillary Clinton
• Supreme Court Justices
Conclusion
• Women are taking over traditional male
dominant workplaces, however, statistics
show they are receiving less pay compared to
their male counterparts.
• The trend for women’s equality is not going to
disappear anytime soon, it is going to increase
in the coming years.
• Females are becoming the head of the family
