Abstract: This study attempts to find out factors that may affect a female’s odds of working in a managerial position. To answer this question we use the 5 percent Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS) dataset. Regression results indicate that it is highly likely that a woman working in a managerial position will have higher education—especially a master’s degree. It is also highly likely that women who work in managerial positions will have rather inflexible schedule. Experience has a positive impact on these odds, but at a decreasing rate. Other factors affecting these odds are race, marital status, and the age of children. Our empirical findings are not sensitive to the dataset used.
