I work in employee benefits.
30 years ago it was almost 100% male.
Now it’s 95% female.
These are high paying field rep jobs, planners, benefit consultants etc
Same with banking, insurance and finance.
How much of that is affirmative action.
In my career, I saw a lot of women being promoted because they were women.
Not that they were incompetent, but if it was even close, the job went to the woman.
And since women in HR control the hiring decisions, they pretty much favor women exclusively. It’s a girls club. Men need not apply. Here where I live there is a push to get women into construction jobs. When they start filling more and more jobs with women, men will have few career opportunities. This affirmative action crap has got to stop.
