Fewer women seek nontraditional jobs in auto repair
Nicole Ross, 19, from Palmerton, studied auto body repair at Carbon County Vo-Tech and expects to earn about $10 an hour. Only 3.6 percent of Pennsylvania auto body students were women in 1999, down from 4.16 percent in 1995, as women gravitate to computer technology and other fields. Ross plans to work at Kovatch Corp. in Nesquehoning after graduation, with her supervisor noting her quick learning and summer to full-time potential.
