Right now I'm listening to the construction work going on across the street...going gangbusters...and not a female worker amongst them...Good paying jobs, I'd say, particularly when almost all service industry jobs, where women tend to employed are shrunken down to almost nothing.

We need more women trained in the trades...more women in ALL of those trades. Those young guys I see out there likely aren't supporting families beyond minimum but I'd bet that many female tradeswomen carry a large load of responsibility.

We need to stop the myth that jobs for men are a priority cause they are the only breadwinners that count.
