The key point being: > Because women tend to earn less than men and are likelier to hold multiple jobs, the figure suggests hiring is clustered in low-paying, contingent roles, meaning it’s not “necessarily a positive story for women overall,” Indeed Hiring Lab said. Odds are that this is much more a reflection of a very poor job market, rather than a good outcome for women (or discriminatory hiring practices).
