What are the jobs most commonly held by American workers, and which gender holds these jobs?

The workplace in America is still divided by gender in many different ways. Women tend to be prevalent in some areas, while men thrive in certain industries. Sometimes it is difficult to know how much of this trend is due to personal choices and how much is due to social constraints. However, the most commonly held jobs are mostly dominated by men.

The most common jobs in America are managerial and professional specialty jobs and more men hold these type of jobs than women. Females, on the other hand, tend to work in technical, sales and administrative support.
