Then imagine that most women are shunning these jobs. This is the way it is in technology professions in which job demand is outpacing the supply of qualified workers. While hardly full parity, it's considerably higher than the 73 cents on the dollar women earn compared to men in jobs overall, according to 1998 U.S. Census data. You'll read in this story that a lot of women don't think tech is a career arena for them. IT is no place for a chick.
Digital stuff is a man's work.
I'm waiting to see if more don't get in soon and loosen up the field a little. The money's pretty attractive. C'mon, women have as much business in tech as guys. They have opposable thumbs just like men, I've seen 'em work keyboards. Yet women make up perhaps only 20 percent of the work force in technology jobs.
