GVU's Sixth WWW User Survey General Graphs

Major Occupation

Notes:

There was a slight increase in the percentage of users in Management and Professional categories. European users were more likely to be in Computers or Education than their US counterparts.

Women are only half as likely as men to be in Computer related fields, but are equally likely to be in Management or Professional positions.

More than half of those age 19-25 are in Education (which includes being a student). Those aged 26-50 are more likely to be in Computer fields than any other.
