Women's Work Force Assignment
The statistics in the table below were collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They represent the number of full-time workers in the listed occupations in 1999. In the spaces in the % Females Employed column, write out the percentage of women in each occupation. To calculate those percentages, divide each # of women employed by the total number employed, then multiply the result by 100. Round off to the nearest 1/10 of a percent and add a percent sign (%). To calculate the number of men employed on each row, subtract number of females employed from the total number employed.
