I am passing on the link to a post regarding teacher salaries from Louis Caruso.
His comment regarding “gender shifts” is interesting:
More women are entering the fields of education and healthcare than men while male graduates are outnumbering their counterparts in the fields of business and engineering. Wages in occupations that have a higher percentage of female workers have been found to drop relative to wages in similarly skills jobs that hold high male employment.
I have read similar analyses before. It has nothing to do with gender bias, but is interpreted as a negative sign of decline in financial. recognition. As I understand the analysis, the shift is also regarded as a consequence of economic factors and not a cause.
