Guess what BLS doesn't have any documents on Unemployment by Gender.

they quit recording by gender in 2004 but started again with new format later , your own link above shows figures for men and women dated trailing YTD 7/09

and since you got me looking, this is not unusual...men are usually on the job loss end at a rate of 3-1 over women historically and I think it is for the reasons I mentioned above....women are in less economic downturn sectors..I believe this recession might very well put women ahead numbers wise in the workforce but they don't count military or farm....that I could find. Outside those two sectors it's close....52-48 already.

There is a good reason you see more men going into nursing.
