 原文15行，there was a high concentration of women workers in certain low-skill jobs, such as weaving, but not in others, such as combing or carding, 可见combing or carding是low skill jobs

不对啊，but not in others,such as combing or carding，不是应该理解为，combing or carding是和low-skill jobs 相反的吗？

相反的对象搞错了。把but not in others 补全了就是这样there was not a high concentration of women workers in other low-skill jobs
