Women Are Winning the Jobs Race. The Reason Why Matters.

The workplaces that have grown recently, are ones that tend to employ more women. And, the workplaces that have shrunk, are ones that tend to employ more men.

The big growth happened in private education and health services.

The world has changed. There are fewer traditionally masculine jobs. The culture and politicians glorify these obsolete jobs. This creates a mismatch that leads to bad policy.

Modern farms and factories employ more machines than people. As we get richer, we tend to want more services than hard things.

If we want job growth for men, men will have to do the jobs that are growing. Which they can, but we need to not label these jobs as jobs for women.
