Women will dominate the workforce in the coming years...

The point behind the title isn't So what?, but more of a Why do I say that?
And the answer is - because thats what the data are showing.

Jordan Weissmann at The Atlantic summarizes a couple of annual reports releases by the National Center for Education Statistics to come up with the following chart

The key points from the above?

• Starting 1995, more women have graduated w/ Bachelor's degrees than men.  Or, to cast this slightly differently, this has been going on for the last 17 years (and counting)
• The trend lines have been dominated by women since 1975, i.e., At best, the increase in the percentage of men getting degrees is the same as for women (and its usually worse!)

The bottom line here is that at some point in the future, a significant majority of the - educated - workforce will be women.  I suspect this may finally take care of the gender pay gap (23%!).
