I argue that women who work in the beauty industry (make-up sales, perfume sales, sephora, beauty product floor of a department store, esthetitcians, cosmetology, skin care, spa owners) locate their agency according to corporate empowerment, self-designed beauty standards, and opportunities for fiscal growth and self-support. Women in the US have historically faced obstacles upon entry into many industries. Generally, because many industries are dominated by male-centric values and corporate life isn鈥檛 always suiting to a woman. However women have done well in the beauty industry, what are the statistics and facts that support this notion?|||The 'beauty industry' provides a number of low-wage retail positions (make up sales, perfume sales, sephora, beauty product floor of a department store) and low wage service positions (estheticians, cosmetology, skin care) which hardly lead to 'empowerment', nor financial self-sufficiency.
Women may do well by figuring out the percentage of women employed in such positions, but doubtfully if you are comparing the wages earned by a similar age and educated male labor set.
http://www.fedstats.gov is a good resource to find all sorts of statistics maintained by various federal agencies, or you can go straight to the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
