This guide describes how to work in the Analyze – Comparative jobs view. Here you analyse female-dominated job groups in comparison with non-female-dominated job groups to ensure there are no pay differences that can be attributed to gender.

Comparisons are made when a non-female-dominated job group is equally valued or lower valued but still has a higher salary than the female-dominated job group.

⚠️ Important: A job group is classified as female-dominated if it consists of at least 60% women.

In the list on the left you can see all female dominated job groups.

1. Click on a female dominated jobs group in the list on the left.

2. Look at the table at the top of the view. The top row always shows the female dominated job groups.
