The white-collar recession means there are fewer $100K jobs — and women are landing them more often than men

• The US is in a white-collar recession with new $100,000 job openings being the lowest since 2014. 
• Data shows women are more likely to land these coveted roles, even if they are less likely to apply.
• Experts say this could be a sign of DEI efforts balancing the gender disparity in senior roles.

While women are less likely than their male peers to apply for six-figure jobs, they're more likely to be hired for high-paying roles.

This is according to new data from global recruiting software firm iCIMS. In an analysis of roughly 550 million applications, shared exclusively with Business Insider, the company found that the pattern goes back at least as far as 2020.
