In the past, teachers, bank tellers, and secretaries were predominantly men; these occupations slipped in pay and status when they became largely occupied by women.

When large numbers of men join a female-dominated occupation, such as airline flight attendant, the status and pay of the occupation tend to increase.
The demand for teachers and secretaries has increased significantly in recent years, while the demand for bank tellers has remained relatively stable.
The pay and status of female accountants, lawyers and physicians today are governed by significantly different economic and sociological forces than were the pay and status of female teachers, bank tellers and secretaries in the past.
