Job prospects by gender: "Women are more skeptical than men about finding jobs."

That's the conclusion of a recent Gallup Poll Tuesday Briefing survey, which found that 69 percent of Americans think now is a tough time for anyone to find a quality job _ and only 30 percent think it's a piece of cake.

Results are based on interviews with 1,009 women and 997 men.

When the numbers are broken down, they show that 74 percent of the women are not optimistic about their chances of finding a good job, compared with 66 percent of the men.

While it's probably accurate to be somewhat skeptical about finding a quality job today, how do you explain the difference in the attitudes?

An earlier Gallup Poll showed "no significant difference" between women and men when it comes to job satisfaction, so the reason women are more pessimistic is not because they are unhappy in their present jobs.
