While I agree with "gaea" let me say also that with the economy such as it is, housing and construction have taken a large hit. The majority of construction workers are men. Also companies that are driven by housing and construction are typically predominately jobs that are done by men. Like my company is dependent on new housing starts...most of our employees are men. Maybe 200 women out of 2500 jobs in the company.
