As women make up half of the U.S. work force and business owners as well as 57 percent of household top earners, the economic recovery is dependent on the productivity and innovation of women in the workplace, according to a new book by Apollo Research Institute.
The book, "Women Lead: Career Perspectives from Workplace Leaders," looks at six industries with the quickest growth that provide women with paths to career advancement. These industries include business services, education, health care, information technology, nonprofits and manufacturing.
Of the book's major findings, women rank at the top of charts in key skills. Specifically, women outperform men when it comes to communication, coaching, organizing people, thinking creatively and solving problems. Additionally, women place higher in empathy, transparency and inclusiveness, which are all necessary characteristics of collaborative work environments that prevail.
