> Hochschild (1983) suggested that jobs requiring more emotional labor are performed primarily by women. These jobs typically involve creating feelings of well-being or affirmation in others – responsibilities usually assigned to women.

I've read the outline of Hochschild's work, and it applies to jobs like waitresses, who have to maintain a positive image in order to do their job, not people in meetings in an office talking about a project. Hochschild herself has mentioned the scope-creep of the concept, critically.
