Oprah and Ellen have beaten all odds when it comes to financial success by hosting some of the most popular daytime television talk shows. Oprah is the wealthiest African American woman in the country, worth over a billion dollars. Ellen is well on her way to becoming just as successful as one of the first openly lesbian TV personalities, and a multi-millionaire.
Not only are Oprah and Ellen both successful in the same industry, but they have been friends for years. Overcoming similar barriers hindering their success, they now are both similarly philanthropic.

It's because most women have flexible jobs and low skill jobs. Think about it, how many women do you know who are construction workers? Not only are these jobs high skilled, but they are also physically demanding beyond what most women are capable of. Women that are nurses or physical therapist bring home the bacon. You can't work for 5 years have a kid or 3 and then go back in the work force 30 hours a week and get the same salary as the guy who has been busting his hump 50 hrs a week with twice as much experience as you in a skilled job. In the public sector women do great, but the private sector needs to make money to stay afloat.
