I used to live in New York City but now I live in Upstate New York.
Upstate New York is a lot more rural and (supposedly) conservative than New York City. However, what I have found is that in the (low-level) jobs I've worked, every single boss and manager I've had has been female (with just one exception). I would say at least 90% of bosses and managers around here are women. In liberal New York City, that number is far lower.
I'm not just talking about the HR managers. I'm saying that I've worked at large warehouses where the vast majority of the floor managers were women. Also, every time I've had an interview or submitted a job application, the manager has been a woman.
I've also taken a couple of computer science courses at my local community college, and all my professors have been women.
Why is this?
