All right.

Thank you so much for being here and for presenting to us.

First, to Andrew, one of the things that's highlighted in the deck is just the difference in terms of occupations. We enter different occupations from men, right? Women are hired within full-time work at different rates than men are. Is this because women are actually being turned away? When we look at the number of men and the number of women who are applying for the same job, is it that men are being chosen over women, or is it that women just simply aren't applying for the same jobs men are applying for?
