Many jobs in Washington nearly female-free zones By NICHOLAS K. GERANIOS, AP, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
SPOKANE, Wash. -- Looking for a female petroleum engineer? A woman tire builder, streetcar driver or rail track layer?
Don't bother.
There are no women in any of those professions in Washington, according to the Washington State Employment Security agency.
Working with data from the 2000 census, the agency has come up with a list of 198 job categories that it considers 'nontraditional occupations for women.'
In six of those, including riggers and extraction workers, there are no women at all employed in this state, according to a quarterly report from the agency, released this week.------------------------------------------- posted 7:03 AM :: reference link ::
