Instead they tend to work in computer related or office related jobs in the professional and scientific services industry. Other popular industries include computer products, finance and insurance, and broadcasting and telecommunications. Construction ranks after all this.

Women, on the other hand, are more likely to be found teaching or working with radiation shielding in a hospital than designing computer components. Their top industry is education, followed by professional and scientific services and health care. Plenty of women also work in finance and insurance and broadcasting and telecommunications. About equal numbers of men and women work in tourism.
