Women are increasingly occupying jobs that were traditionally held by men. While women now make up over half the workforce and outnumber men in college degrees, a pay gap persists where women earn only 77 cents for every dollar earned by men.

It also explores reasons for the shifting job trends and continuing gender pay gap, such as effects of the recession, discrimination, and differences in hours and career choices between men and women.
