Others such as Macy’s, VF Corp and Italian denim brand Diesel replaced men with men at the top.

The majority of the industry’s entry-level workforce is also female. Seventy-two percent of cashiers are women, and about half of retail salespersons are women, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
