"Women have been steadily flocking to six-figure roles in traditionally male-dominated industries like healthcare and engineering, according to a new report from Resume Genius analyzing data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics."
"The number one role with rising female representation is dentistry; in the early 2000s only around 25% of dentists were women, but today they represent nearly 40% of the field, one of the biggest increases over the past two decades."
"Women are stepping into six-figure STEM roles-and slowly taking over the C-suite. Aside from high-paying healthcare jobs, women are also funnelling into lucrative STEM careers."
"Their rise is a result of greater outreach to get women into these technical fields through scholarships, mentorships, and broader recruitment efforts."
Women are making significant strides in high-paying, traditionally male-dominated industries such as healthcare and engineering. A report indicates that female representation in dentistry has risen from 25% to nearly 40% over two decades, with median salaries reaching $179,210. Surgeons, earning $239,200 annually, have also seen a doubling of female representation. The shift is partly due to women becoming the majority in U.S. medical schools. Additionally, women are entering lucrative STEM roles, supported by outreach initiatives, scholarships, and mentorships, leading to increased representation in various technical fields.
