Hi Smorel, the “men still accounted for over 200,000 jobs” was deleted. Apologies for the confusion.

In 2016, there were 12,000 women with vocational engineering qualifications, compared to 300,000 men, yet men still accounted for over 200,000 of the jobs.”

Huh! What is the point of this? If there are only 12,000 women they cannot possibly come near in accounting for over 200,000 jobs. Only the 300,000 men can.

Am I reading this wrong, but it seems too self-evident?
