I am not currently working, I guess that leaves some space for women or under-represented people to work the job I would hold.

- bryanlarsen 11y agoJobs are not a zero-sum game. If you were working, you'd be spending more money so more jobs would be available. And the money you are spending is either coming from the other people's taxes, decreasing the number of jobs available, or it's coming from your savings, which reduces your banks float, which decreases the number of jobs available.
- nraynaud 11y agoI don't know if this line of reasoning works for the subset of CS management jobs.
- bryanlarsen 11y agoNo, it only works from a very broad perspective. If you take a CS management job, there are fewer CS management jobs available, but there are more jobs elsewhere in the economy.
