The bar chart compares the proportion of employees of both genders employed in executive positions in ACME oil company within a one year period between July 1993 and June 1994. As can be seen from the chart, the percentage of male employees generally increased with the rise of the job categories from Grade E to Grade A while the opposite was true with that of women.
Grade A, which was reported as the highest position, was a male dominated one in which only one-tenth of the staff were female while male employees accounted for the rest.
When it comes to Grade B and C, man also made up over half of the employees, accounting for 80% and 60%, which are 50% and 10% more than that of woman respectively.
However,, the situation in the other two job categories which were relatively lower was totally converse with women taking up larger proportions. Men constituted roughly 40% in Grade D, 20% less than that of woman and most of the working staff in Grade E were women (over 70) , twice as much as that of men.
