Men lost 2 times more jobs than women from the Great Recession and have gained half as many jobs since late 2007.___
It should be clear that the Great Recession took a toll on most people. This is reflected in household incomes and savings. But one thing that is abundantly clear is that the Great Recession took a massive toll on male employment at a rate twice that of females. We’ll get into the charts and figures later in the article but suffice it to say that the recession didn’t hurt people equally. Some took on the brunt of the damage. When splitting out job losses and gains by gender, it is clear that something else was going on. One reason for this has to do with the big losses in construction and manufacturing that tend to be heavily dominated by men. The housing bubble imploding didn’t help in this respect. In many ways this has been a Mancession even in the midst of a recovery that started in early 2009.
Mancession – men haven’t recovered from Great Recession
One of the more interesting points of reference is looking at total jobs lost and gained since the Great Recession hit but splitting out men and women. Let us look at the figures:
graph
Men lost 5.7 million jobs and women lost 2.6 million jobs. Since late 2007 men have gained 904,000 jobs and women have gained 1,858,000 jobs (twice the rate of men). So for nearly a decade, women are netting jobs at twice the rate of men.
This might be shrugged off as a temporary change but there is something bigger going on. Just look at the participation rate of men in the labor force:

That’s the advantage of being paid less.
In an era where women vote in people like Clinton and Obama, isn’t it best women be in charge.
Nuff said...
It has become an vaginocracy. Where the gynocrats rule in favor of themselves.
Gynocratically speaking, I agree.
Wait a minute...
“:^)
Let me guess... the men hired were not citizens... BECAUSE they work as cheap or cheaper than women.
And all this brought to us by the CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS and the millionaires behind it who BUY SPEECHES FROM CONGRESS MEN AND EVERYONE ELSE IN OUR CORRUPT HELLHOLE OF A GOVERNMENT.
We’re all gonna end up as unpaid boy toys and kept men.
I remember reading back in 2009 that the way the stimulus bill was originally structured, it would have garnered more jobs for men than for women (since men had been hurt more by the recession), so the feminists got to work to make sure that women got a larger share of the jobs created (it may have been 50-50). Of course a lot of those jobs were not the kind that would really stimulate the economy.
Well, the white male is on the way down, a victim of government discrimination and severe social stigma. Just goes to show there’s no clear winner on who is able to discriminate best.
Women tend to do just the opposite and then listen to politicians who bellyache because they are paid less.
I've had corporate recruiters offer me 10% or more pay if I will take a job commuting to Pittsburgh. But the extra hour or two on the road each day isn't worth it. So maybe I'm acting like a woman in that respect. Or maybe people who don't work in big cities are discriminated against by being paid less. Boo-hoo!
Especially as the divorce industry and child support (wealth redistribution) machine impoverishes men during their prime earning years.
And then they turn around and seeth with resentment that they are now the breadwinners.

most of those “big” job numbers for women include many low paying or menial jobs....part time jobs....
women do what they have to do to raise their families and bring in a little income....for that, they get paid less and have fewer benefits and get less SS in the end....some thx...
divorce most certainly impoverishes young women and their children, not the other way around...
Thats one of those often repeated myths from pre 1990 draconian family court and child support laws:
Women are more likely to suffer abuse during Super Bowl (debunked)
Women earn less than men (only because they mommy track and dont take hazardous work like men do)
I say this as a divorced mom who received no child support back in the eighties.
Most white, middle class divorced women can easily live off the CS they get from biodad. My husband has paid 3/4s of his net pay and his kids all have ipads and iphones,etc. He now pays “only” 50% of his net pay to her (11 yrs down, 8 more to go) All non arrears by the way. CS goes to 21 and over here—a fantastic deal for the “impoverished” mom and kids.
Most black kids are simply born out of wedlock and the govt becomes their surce of income—and rather generously at that.
