Glass Ceiling Claims

Women Face Predictable Barriers in Certain Fields

Although gender gaps in employment have narrowed significantly in many occupations and professions over the last 30 years, women continue to be underrepresented in the highest executive and management positions. Female managers are also likely to be paid less than their male counterparts of comparable experience. Commonly and collectively known as the glass ceiling, the invisible barriers to the rise of women in their jobs beyond a certain level continue to persist in such occupations and professions as the following:

  • Banking, finance and insurance
  • Universities and colleges
  • Medicine
  • Law
  • Marketing and sales
  • Government employment
  • Police and fire
  • Television and radio
  • Publishing
  • Scientific and technical research
  • Tech start-ups
