Not hard.
Just look at the make-up of the corporate HR department.

Maybe the guys are too busy playing video games to have any time left to look for a job?

Women work cheaper and they’re eye candy for middle aged men running companies. ‘Working cheaper’ and ‘punching ‘ the diversity’ box is a factor

Maybe the numbers are out of wack due to men claiming to be women.

"Women work cheaper and they’re eye candy for middle aged men running companies."

At the university level, women tend to have slightly higher GPAs than men, a trend that holds across a wide range of academic disciplines.

If they study more efficiently and effectively in college, they are going to work more efficiently and effectively at their job.

Very true. Also, the culture encourages assertiveness and aggression in women and guilt and passivity in men.

Correlation is not causation. If young men are graduating with an engineering degree they aren’t going to get a job at some company as a “communications director” of barista. They’ll wait to get a job as an entry level engineer and positions like that don’t pop up as often as entry level fluff jobs.

Young men are going into trades. They are getting certified and they get hired immediately.

DEI works in favor for females (even white females).

But if you're a woke guy with a paper from a "reputable" university, DEI works against you (unless you decide to become gay).

Because the bosses are all male and want to “Get It On.”

“Women work cheaper...”

If women work cheaper, then they have set the market price for labor and men have priced themselves out of the market.

DEI programs are to blame.

Colleges scrap and scrape to not pass the dreaded 60/40 female-to-male ratio for their students, and so they take less accomplished male students on average.

As with black students, that dynamic tends to be bad for the less qualified demographic.

I remember Amazon completing a study of their workforce productivity in order to develop a model to help select which employees to hire. Turns out the model was sexist. The model selected primarily men. They had to drop the model.

It is interesting how fast some here blame men. I don’t understand the hate.

Used to be a higher percentage of capable men went to college. Now that the trades pay more than many college degrees and companies often don’t require the ticket punch (the FAANGs are not requiring degrees to work the data centers) that percentage has skewed. I think fewer women see a direct to work path that pays well, thus the capable are skewed toward a degree.
