Thirty-three percent of female workers said their gender works against them
when applying for a job, while 11% said it works in their favor.
That's a pretty high percentage; however, over half of women say their gender has no effect on hiring.
So, what do women report doing about discrimination? About half said that they did not report the incident.
More than 2/3's felt reporting the incident wouldn't help; nearly half feared they would be labeled a trouble-maker. Only about 3% took legal action as a result.
This is an interesting survey, if for no other reason, it shows what women are likely to do if they feel they have been mistreated (most don't think they were taken seriously and even more felt that the pepetrator was not held accountable).
