Answer
In industrial societies most workers are not employed in agriculture and the extractive occupations, but in secondary sector activities of manufacture of goods and in construction trades.
Manufacturing operations are located mainly in large towns and in cities and as they attract more workers, urbanization grows. In the occupations of pre-industrialized societies, especially in agriculture, all members of a family are usually required to participate in making a livelihood by working on the farm, in the taking care of animals, and harvesting their products --milk eggs meat etc. However, as the secondary sector develops and manufacturing increases, men usually leave rural villages to work in factories in urban settings, and the women are left behind to work the farms and take care of the animals.
As development proceeds, employment becomes greatest in the tertiary sector (service jobs) -- from sales assistant to surgeon and nuclear physicist-- and this causes a further change in the gender ratio of laborers in different occupations. In manufacturing occupations, workers are predominantly male, partly because of the physical demands of the jobs, partly because of urbanization and the issues involved in moving entire families to the new urban work settings, but also because of anti-feminist discrimination. As a consequence, while in both US and in Turkey ( an Islamic country) manufacturing is male dominated, in Turkey the tertiary sector is also male dominated, while in the US it is not. This is because in a strict Islamic country like Turkey, there are religious restrictions against women working outside the home.

The time-line of the post industrial development of the US is as follows: Services accounted for 25% of all jobs in the US in 1929; by the 1940's that percentage exceeded 50% and the US became the first post- industrial society. By 2012, the service sector accounted for more than 80% of all the jobs in the US economy.
