According to Time.com: Going into 2020, the U.S. economy generally seems strong — especially for women, who hold the majority of jobs for the first time in almost a decade. Women held 50.04% of American jobs, as of December, excluding farm workers and the self-employed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s up from 49.7%, just one year ago. What’s driving the surge in female employment? The two industries that experienced the biggest overall gains, health care and retail, both employ many women and are fueled in part by demand from economically empowered female consumers, says Amanda Weinstein, assistant professor of economics at the University of Akron.
Although the statistics depict a significant growth in the number of women holding jobs, many women yet find themselves struggling to compete with men. Women often must face the stumbling block of bias that still exists in terms of equivalent pay and career advancement. Where are the solutions? How can women overcome these blocks? What role can corporations play in leveling the field?
In a world where technology has finally afforded a level playing field regardless of gender, Sadhguru explains that it is time to think beyond putting a woman into a man’s world and asking her to succeed; instead, he asks, why don’t we redesign our workspaces and our world to be suitable for all human beings?
