Key Findings & Future Research

• Females are a clear majority in high-growth occupations.
• Females are a clear majority in the current education pipeline leading to

high-growth occupations.

• Gender imbalance is a significant issue in current and projected

economic and workforce environment.

• Adult education and worker training programs may provide additional

avenues into high-growth occupations, leading to gender balance – an area for further research.
