And they think these people will want to commute back to the office with their kids on Metro?

I don't think you are the demographic these services are intended for.[/quote]

Sit down, office worker.

The vast majority of employed women work in offices. [/quote]

Not really, though.  Biggest types of jobs are teachers and health care.[/quote]
Over 70% of office workers are women. [/quote]

Which is different than saying "the vast majority of employed women work in office."

The denominators are different, if you are missing that.

I think it's like half of office workers are women.  [/quote]
And yet, the vast majority of women work in office roles.

Pretty sure that's not what that table shows. [/quote]

Yeah, of those top 10 occupations, "office work" accounts for about a third of the jobs.[/quote]
Pretty sure that you are not capable of doing math. [/quote]

God, I hate DCUM.

Ugh, because I'm going to take the bait:  
total jobs listed there:  about 21M

Office worker jobs in that list:
Secretaries and administrative assistants, except legal, medical, and executive
Managers, all other
Accountants and auditors
Receptionists and information clerks
Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks
Office clerks, general
Financial managers
First-Line supervisors of office and administrative support workers

Those amount to about 7.7M.

7.7/21 = about 36%[/quote]
This is an odd point to argue and also to lie about.

Several office jobs you missed included: social workers and human resource workers. [/quote]
