Abstract:

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that as of 2009, women comprised 46.8 percent of the total United States labor force. The female workforce is projected to account for 46.9 percent of the total labor force in 2018 and is expected to contribute the majority 51.2 percent of the increase in total labor growth between 2008 and 2018 (United States Department of Labor Women’s Bureau). However, there are sectors of labor in which gender inequality on the account of women is still prevalent. Women comprise only 24.5 percent of the transportation industry. As of 2008, only 10.4 percent of all civil engineers in the United States were women. In transportation and modal occupations, which includes baggers and stock handlers to positions of bus driver and pilots, the percentage of full-time employed female transportation workers totaled only 13 percent in 2009 (Department of Labor Bureau). In the present year of 2011, men still greatly disproportionally hold the jobs within the transportation industry.
