Does your workplace have more males or females, or is it an event split? Is there a "norm" for your industry to have more of one gender?
-
I'm the only woman who works here. Other than me it is my husband and 4 male developers.
-
My company is 85% female and all very young. I'll be 29 this weekend and I'm the oldest female by almost 3 years!
My job before this was 100% females (with a male boss) and we were all young and just out of college so he thought he could get away with paying us less. Yuck.
-
I'm in an elementary school: 2 male classroom teachers, 4 male "other" teachers, 3 male custodians. The rest is all ladies!
-
I work for a very small non-profit and there are no men employed here. Prior to this I worked in higher education and my department was only women. I find that PR and marketing jobs tend to skew a bit higher with women.
-
@mrsjazz: Totally agree about the PR/marketing jobs. I have a lot of friends in that field and they all say there are very few men. Reminds me of the episode of HIMYM with the pharma sales "hotties"
-
I'm a critical care RN. We have some male nurses but mostly women. The drs and other staff are probably a 50-50 mix
-
We're mostly females, but as I work in the ER, the split is less crazy than most of the other areas in healthcare.
-
6 women 34 men
-
Totally the norm for there to be more female librarians than male...but I think as technology becomes more and more integrated in the job there will be more males. I also work at a public library and I think there tend to be more women in public libraries (especially in children's departments!) whereas academic libraries might be a little more balanced. We have only 2 male librarians...there are several other men that work full time but don't actually have a library degree.
-
@debbiei8: I have a male friend that's getting his degree in library science. He loves it!
-
Sales industry so male dominant.
-
I'm a pre-k teacher and we're all females. DH teaches 3rd grade and he's one of 2 males teachers at his school.
-
It's fairly even which is surprising as I work in technical support which is a male dominated field in general.
-
Soooooo many guys at my workplace. So much sausage
-
I'm an engineer, so it's mostly men!
-
One male in our office, but the office we share with is almost ALL men.
-
17 women and 2 men in my immediate office. I work for a health system with over 300 employees so I have no idea about the rest.
The only men in my office are also dentists.
-
@blackbird: HAHA.
I'm a HS teacher and its actually a pretty even split. I think male teachers tend to teach HS rather than MS or elementary. I don't know the numbers for the whole school but in the English department there are 8 females and 15 males.
-
I work in the trucking industry. It's about 75% male. I wouldn't change it for the world though - it's so much fun and there's SO little drama!
-
Pipeline industry. I am very often the only woman in the room.
-
@debbiei8: I had a male librarian when I was in elementary school! He was so awesome! I never thought it was weird then.
-
@autumnlove: what do you do?
-
@JennyD: Whoops! Sales!
-
More men than women, but it seems to be a little more balanced than my last company. I work in software, on the engineering side.
-
95% men, but it is changing very slowly.
-
@AmandaB8: DH works in the trucking industry and I'm so jealous of how drama free it sounds! Working with mostly girls I'm subjected to too much gossip and it drives me crazy.
-
I'm a nurse... I work with one male (in my dept).
-
I teach. We have one male in our school (middle school). He is my partner teacher. At the high school there are more males, but the females still out number them.
-
I work in fashion so it's always been more females at the two companies I've been at.
