#Analysis (Opinion)

##The Odds Ratios between Table 1 and Table 2 seem to tell different stories. Why are these stories different? ______.

#Table 1 and Table 2 indicate very contrasting conclusions. This is because when we break down Table 2 based on the divisions and gender, there is a chance that some jobs that are labor intensive require more physical strength and therefore hire more men than women, like division E that is hiring 1.26 times more men as against women. Whereas when we look at Table 1, division A and B could be tech companies. These companies hire technically skilled (STEM) people, where demand is higher than supply and hence, percentage of people getting hired is much higher than divisions like E or F.
