In 57 percent of occupations, image searches indicate the jobs are more male-dominated than they actually are. In addition to overall representation, the researchers found images of men typically ranked higher in search results. For general managers, those figures are 34 percent of the labor force and 15 percent of Google image searches. Meanwhile, search results overrepresent images of women in a minority of occupations. They eliminated professions that didn’t have enough image-search results on Google or enough images of people performing the job.
