Women and men may not feel the same level of pain in the retail apocalypse. In the past year, women lost jobs in the industry overall while men had a net gain in retail jobs, according to the latest analysis from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

To close that gap for themselves, women should start by doing research on sites like PayScale and Glassdoor. After they’re finished, they should ask their own colleagues at the office, including their human resources group and manager, about the pay range for the position. It can certainly feel uncomfortable, but salaries aren’t as opaque as they used to be.

The concept of men “failing up” — making a major mistake, yet landing a pay rise or promotion — is a serious double standard facing women at work. It’s certainly frustrating and unfair to see women scrutinised more than their male counterparts, but it can also impact female representation in top jobs and positions of power.

The Lithuanian politician tweeted a photo of MP Jacob Rees Mogg’s all-male panel of Brexit supporters alongside another historic photo of members of the KGB-backed “state committee of the state of emergency” with the hashtag #historiansdejavu. Andriukaitis insisted he was “not comparing anything” before adding: “If I did, maybe I’d say a word on gender representation.”

Shotwell has been a member of SpaceX since shortly after its founding in 2002. She now serves as the lieutenant to CEO Elon Musk , spending her day-to-day implementing Musk's vision of building the first company transporting humans to and from Mars. While Shotwell emphasized that it will take time to achieve this otherworldly goal, she also noted that she wants women to know they can aspire to the success she's attained already. "I think it's important to be as public as I can afford to be and to hopefully inspire women to join me in this incredible field," Shotwell said.

On the corporate level, Target’s leadership reflects this belief system. Women make up 36% of the board and 45% of the executive level — which surpasses industry and corporate standards.

Females make up 30% of Walmart’s executive management, and a mere 3% of Costco’s. The overall retail industry has more female directors on average (26% compared with 20% of the S&P 500), according to a 2017 PwC report.
