19. Social Scientists and Related Workers, Including Sociologists

Sociologists, social scientists, and related workers deal with a plethora of societal issues- perhaps this is why in this industry, men and women are paid equally, with the median earnings for women sitting at $65,243. In this field, women take up 55.1% of jobs.

18. Technical Writers

As technical writers, women make about 95% of what men make in the U.S., with their median earnings sitting at $65,587. In this field, women also take up 53.9% of jobs.

These workers write how-to manuals, instruction guides and pretty much anything in between. So, if you’ve brought a new appliance lately and opened the manual, chances are it was written by a woman.
