According to Statistics Canada women dominate the retail, hospital, professional, scientific and technical trades. In April 2006, 39,000 women found jobs, a rate of 2.5 per cent times the prevailing rate for men.

A more interesting statistics is that women over age 45, many of whom have raised their children, are being drawn back to the workplace by an acute talent shortage in the corporate sector. This shortage is only going to get worse as baby boomers pass through the system.
