This article contributes to the understanding of how talk in social work constructs the positions of men and women in the gender system. The method consists of discourse analysis of Swedish social workers’ interviews with male and female clients. Results show that women are given relatively little support in finding a job. Much more attention is devoted to the men as a group and their opportunities to become established in the labour market. Artikeln behandlar hur samtal i socialt arbete bidrar till att konstruera mäns och kvinnors positioner i genussystemet. Samtalsanalys har använts för att studera svenska socialarbetares samtal med manliga och kvinnliga klienter. Resultaten visar att kvinnorna ges relativt lite stöd för att få arbete. Mycket mer uppmärksamhet ägnas männen och deras möjlighet att etablera sig på arbetsmarknaden.
