About the status of American women

Some people said that in the United States, a woman is hard to earn more money than a man by doing the same job, unless she handles dangerous jobs such as install communication cables. Not long ago, the census bureau showed a report about the average income of women. It showed that there are only five kinds of jobs that can make the income equal between women and men. 

It is reported that the income of women will be higher than men when they do dangerous jobs. The proportion is 1 to 1.09. The income of women and men in the following three careers: meeting planning, restaurant service and property deals. However, the proportion of women and men is not the same. There are more men than women in these careers.

A professor of Stanford University said that if young women want to earn more, they need to choose male-dominated industry.

In the jobs of the highest proportion women are kindergarten teachers and pre-school teachers, 98% of them are women. The average income of the male is 22000 dollars which is more than women’s. In registered nurse, 91% are women, but the average income is 42000 dollars. American nurse association spokesman said that the reason may be that most men choose the higher type of work such as anesthesia.

The Chairman of women policy Hartmann said that one reason for the income gap between male and female is women’s raising children, but males are continuing for the career. Therefore, when the mothers returned to work, they can not compensate for the loss in their jobs.

Little by little, the income gap is narrowed between female and male. “One of the reasons may be the education of women. Nowadays, more and more women enter university. In addition, nowadays, many mothers work through telecommuting to solve the contradiction between work and family. Therefore, the income will be better.
