BS. Total made up factoid.
Hardly, in fact Google has scores of articles about this "made up factoid". Second source (Economix) claims Men have lost 83.1% of the jobs since the recession began. Here's one from Foriegn Policy:
The death throes of macho are easy to find if you know where to look. Consider, to start, the almost unbelievably disproportionate impact that the current crisis is having on men—so much so that the recession is now known to some economists and the more plugged-in corners of the blogosphere as the “he-cession.” More than 80 percent of job losses in the United States since November have fallen on men, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. And the numbers are broadly similar in Europe, adding up to about 7 million more out-of-work men than before the recession just in the United States and Europe as economic sectors traditionally dominated by men (construction and heavy manufacturing) decline further and faster than those traditionally dominated by women (public-sector employment, healthcare, and education). All told, by the end of 2009, the global recession is expected to put as many as 28 million men out of work worldwide.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has two different measures for the job market. (Alan B. Krueger, one of Economix’s Daily Economists and a former chief economist at the Labor Department, explained some of the differences here.) For now let’s look at nonfarm payrolls. As of December, the last month for which we have a male/female jobs breakdown for this measure, men accounted for 83.1 percent of the lost jobs.
This is the Left’s pansy nonsense. Now the military is metrosexual. Listen, if women ever dominated the military, it would be ten times more violent (and take on an air of fascism) than it is under the leadership of majoirty male. Feminists...that is your clue.
