As more and more women enter the world of work, defining trends are pointing to some particular fields that women are dominating.

Public Relations: Some studies suggest that women are doing quite well in the field of Public Relations. Within those studies it has been shown that women can be more persuasive than their male counterparts, and they have the ability to make contact with both male and female executives that make decisions. Women tend to be good writers, have certain technical skills that make them excel in the field, and are terrific at presentations and event planning. While the entry-level PR positions might be dominated by women, men still have the power with about an 80 percent ratio inhabiting corporate business positions.

Television News: What other corporate business world do you find where the employee structure is as close to 50 percent men and women?  Just take a peek at your evening news. A male anchor and a female anchor typically deliver the news. While the reporters at many stations are at a 50-50 ratio of men and women, women tend to be more believable to the male audience members. In recent years more and more women have broken into the fields of weather and sports, previously thought of as male dominated domains.

Even nationally televised sporting events that you see in http://www.direct.tv shows now have female sideline reporters far more than they ever did in the past.  While the good-ol-boy network has refused to make headway into play-by-play commentators being women, even those barriers are being broken down as corporate business policies change.
