It is just that these types of jobs attract more female candidates. Many of these employers would like to hire more males but are unable to find qualified candidates who are interested in these jobs, It would only be discrimination if an employer located a qualified candidate and refused to hire him on the grounds that he is a man. Actually there is still a bit of reverse discrimination in that when men do take these types of jobs they often have an advantage as they are seen as more promotable.

Most clerical type, teaching, and medical (other than doctors) job applicants are women. You want to see more men in these jobs, more men should apply. Maybe more men should apply.

It isn't workplace discrimination, it's simply a question of numbers. I'm sure if more men had the desire to be an administrative assistant, they too could. In the 12 years I was an admin, I only met 1 male secretary. In fact, I went to one of the more prestigious secretarial training schools in the US and was told by one of my teachers there that while there had been men graduate from there, no man had ever been certified (passing specific skill levels over and above what was required to graduate.)

But I don't think your statistics are correct, at all. I think you just pulled those numbers out of your bum.

When the salaries go up the boys all of a sudden get interested. It's called the "pink ghetto." Been living in a cave? That’s b/c they are lower paid.
