Female-dominant industry

I believe that Market Research is a female-dominant industry.

Let's take our company as a benchmark, the gender-split of each department is shown as below:

Administrative Department: Male 11%/ Female 89%
Research Department: Male 19%/ Female 81%
DP/IT Department: Male 27%/ Female 73%
Operation Department: Male 33%/ Female 67%
Company/ Group directors: Male 75%/ Female 25%
Total: Male 27%/ Female 73%

It demonstrates girl power surpasses man's, if it is calculated by quantity. Even for those work which male is excelled in typically, such as DP/IT, is still crowded with girls.

The only exception is the company/group director segment, but I can tell you the power of that single woman, our highness, is having stronger impact than the those gentlemen.

Female is also gaining higher proportion among the positions of director grades or above recently. We have 50% of department directors are women.

Who say female are vulnerable, emotional and irrational? We can also pick up jobs need strong analytical and rational thinking in work place, and remain sensitive and sentimental during our daily life.

Wow, we girls can shoulder half of the sky.
