Women are on their way to holding more than half of all American jobs. The latest government report shows that their share of non-farm jobs nearly reached 50% in September. Not only have more and more women entered the labour market over the years, but the recession has been harder on men.[16]In October the unemployment rate for men was almost 11 percent compared to 8 percent for women.
Industries that traditionally use lots of men have suffered deep cuts. For example, manufacturing and building lost more jobs last month.[17]But health care and temporary employment services have had job growth. Both of these industries employ high percentages of women.
Yet a recent study said men still hold about nine out of every ten top positions at the four hundred largest companies in California. The results have remained largely unchanged in five years of studies from the University of California, Davis. Also, a new research paper in the journal Sex Roles looks at the experiences of women who are the main earners in their family. Rebecca Meisenbach at the University of Missouri in Columbia interviewed 15 women.[18]She found they all valued their independence and many enjoyed having the power of control, though not all wanted it.
16. What was the unemployment rate for men in October?
17. Which of the following industries employs a high percentage of women?
18. What does Rebecca find in her interview?
选项
A、Manufacturing.
B、Health care.
C、Building.
D、Education.
答案
B
解析
细节题。文中提到,医疗保健(health care)和临时就业服务(temporaryemployment services)拥有较高的女性雇佣率(employ high percentages ofwomen),B)为其中一项,故为答案。
