Women in the Workplace

            Sydney Ledwedge
Thesis
   Women are starting to shoot ahead in the workplace.
    They are slowly catching up with men in the battle
    for positions. Can this cause a potential shift in the
    main source of income in the house hold.
Women in the past…
In the past, it was not likely for women to have jobs.
 Main job: to care for the family and home
 Men were the main provider for the household.
Women in education…
Just as unlikely it was for women to have a job, it was
  also not common for women to have a high
  education if any education at all. Women have
  started to surprise the world with the number of
  women with degrees.
 Since 1984, the majority of people in gradute
  schools are women.
 In 1996, women received 238,563 master‟s degrees.
  Men only received 181,062.
Discrimination in the workplace
With the high numbers of women getting degrees you
  would think that women would be taking the higher
  paying jobs. This is untrue. Men are still taking the more
  powerful and higher paying jobs.
 For every dollar a man makes a women only makes 78
  cents.
 Women also have to deal with other discrimination in the
  workplace
     They are looked over for promotions because they can become
      pregnant. Companies worry that if they hire a women and she
      becomes pregnant she will either leave the company or ask for
      maternity leave.
         But this statement is not always true. 65% of women in senior
          management positions have children and have kept their job while
          taking care of their family.
Discrimination cont.
   Women are also discriminated for being too pretty.
       Example
           An article stated that a women was fired because her male
            coworkers thought she was “too pretty”, causing a distraction in
            the office.
           Another women in Florida, Amy-Erin Blakely, was fired because
            her bust was too large. Her employees complained to their
            manager saying that they were having a hard time concentrating
            during meetings. Because of this she was told that she would
            not be able to advance in the company anymore.
“The Glass Ceiling”
   A way to describe women‟s treatment in the
    workplace is “The Glass Ceiling.”
       “ The Glass Ceiling” is meant to indicate a symbolic
        barrier in the corporate hierarchy where women are rarely
        allowed passing.
Races
Not only do women as a whole get discriminated for
  their gender but also for race.
 According to the Women‟s Bureau unemployment
  rate:
    Asian women 7.5%
    White women 7.7%
    Hispanic women 12.3%
    Black women 13.8%
Women shooting ahead…
Even though women are treated unfairly, they are
  starting to show a rise for the top.
 USA Today journalist Dennis Cauchon stated that in
  2009 women held 50% of the nation‟s 132 million
  jobs.
 Due to the recession men have lost 3 million jobs in
  construction and manufacturing alone.
 The jobs that were still running smoothly were those
  in health care, education, and government, all of
  which are mostly held by women
Women shooting ahead cont.

   One reason why women are starting to grow in the
    workforce is because while women are getting degrees,
    men are sitting at home playing video games.
       Men 18 to 34 spend more time playing video games than 12 to
        17 year olds.
   Many believe that the media is one of the reasons for the
    large number of unemployment percentages.
       A lot of movies today are about men that do not want to grow
        up. They show men going to parties, drinking, smoking,
        showing they have no responsibilities. This is playing a large
        influence on the future working generations.
   In 1950, the percentage of unemployed men was only
    5%. In 2010, it was recorded at 20%.
Shifting in the workplace?
In the past women were just seen as caring for the
  home. But women are now starting to achieve
  greater job opportunities that were once only held by
  men.
       Of working married women, 48% provide half or more of the
        household income.
       60% of U.S. women that work outside of the home, earn one
        trillion dollars each year in aggregate.
Top 10 occupations…
The top10 occupations with the highest median weekly
 earnings among women are:
 1.    Physicians and surgeons, $1,618
 2.    Pharmacists, $1,605
 3.    Chief Executives, $1,598
 4.    Lawyers, $1,461
 5.    Computer Software Engineers, $1,445
 6.    Computer and Information Systems Managers, $1,415
 7.    Physical Therapists, $1,208
 8.    Speech-language Pathologists, $1,184
 9.    Computer Programmers, $1,177
 10.   Human Research Managers, $1,170
Women in jobs..
   Women in Business:
       Today women-owned businesses make up about 40% of
        all businesses.
       Women employ 27.5 million people and make more than
        $3.6 trillion in sales.
       Women also make 95% of the family financial decisions.
   Women in the Medical Field
       Over 90% of registered nurses and 53% of medical
        scientists are women.
Women in Management…
   In 1960, only about 15% of manager and
    administrators were women. Today that number has
    risen to 51%
   Stated in a Washington Post article, “ Companies
    that employ more women in upper level
    management are more profitable that those that rely
    heavily on male „talent‟ to run their business.”
   “ There is a clear relationship between women in
    senior management and corporate financial
    success.”
An Example of women succeeding in
management.
A women by the name of Marilyn Carlson Nelson, had
  a father that was the owner of his own business.
  Nelson would beg her father to give her a job in his
  business, but would never hire her. He instead
  assigned her to what he called “female” jobs in the
  company. Since he would not hire her, she decided
  to take her business career into her own hands.
  When Nelson was in her 60‟s, she was so far ahead
  in the corporate world that she was able to buy her
  father‟s company. While in charge of the company,
  she was able to triple the growth and profits and turn
  her father‟s tiny company into a global leader.

Men only received 181,062.
  • 5. Discrimination in the workplace With the high numbers of women getting degrees you would think that women would be taking the higher paying jobs. This is untrue. Men are still taking the more powerful and higher paying jobs.  For every dollar a man makes a women only makes 78 cents.  Women also have to deal with other discrimination in the workplace  They are looked over for promotions because they can become pregnant.

  • 10. Women shooting ahead cont.  One reason why women are starting to grow in the workforce is because while women are getting degrees, men are sitting at home playing video games.  Men 18 to 34 spend more time playing video games than 12 to 17 year olds.  Many believe that the media is one of the reasons for the large number of unemployment percentages.  A lot of movies today are about men that do not want to grow up. They show men going to parties, drinking, smoking, showing they have no responsibilities. This is playing a large influence on the future working generations.  In 1950, the percentage of unemployed men was only 5%. In 2010, it was recorded at 20%.

Nelson would beg her father to give her a job in his business, but would never hire her. He instead assigned her to what he called “female” jobs in the company. Since he would not hire her, she decided to take her business career into her own hands. When Nelson was in her 60‟s, she was so far ahead in the corporate world that she was able to buy her father‟s company.
