• 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.
