Seeing the level of education the women undergo today, we must think that in career, they also possess various positions that once were only occupied by men. Have you ever questioned what kinds of career are mostly taken by females today? According to the United States department of Labor, the Leading Occupations of Employed Women for 2009 were secretaries, nurses, teachers, and cashiers. I was actually surprised by the finding, because I thought it could be something more like lawyers, marketing specialists, or finance managers, considering the technologies today and the things that called ‘women emancipation’ and feminism. Not that it’s something wrong or bad, but with the fact it seems like nothing much happened in the past 50 years for working women.
Frankly saying that the top 3 jobs for women I mentioned before are not the kind of jobs which usually considered to be high income generators. But it is obvious that women today are much more active role in their financial futures, as stated by Women and Co.,”Modern Women are taking the reins when it comes to earning, planning and investing our wealth.” And the statement seemed to be proved by a survey which said that:
-a generation ago 39% of women were knowledgeable about investing; today 82% of women are knowledgeable about investing.
-a generation ago, 24% of women had a financial adviser, today 57% have a financial advisor
-a generation ago, 53% of women set financial objectives, today 93% set financial objectives
So even though the top employers of women remain much the same as they did a generation ago, that doesn’t reflect how very diverse women’s career paths actually are today. And with a consolation that in 2010, women overtook man in the workplace (mostly because the biggest layoffs were in the male-dominated fields of manufacturing and construction), female-dominated fields of education and health care were considerable safer. Perhaps, that’s why woman is expected to earn more than man by 2028. So, considering the snail pace changing we have at the work force over a generation ago, I think women must be encouraged more to make better change in the future.
