Keep in mind, the US population is 51% female. So there is still a higher percentage of employed males vs employed females.

- Sharlin 7y agoHowever that may be simply because there are more retired women than retired men (the former living longer than the latter).
- Bartweiss 7y agoLifespans are the reason for that, and births are majority-male, so the adult stats are actually even more heavily female. But the 25–54 cohort is gender balanced, and women are the majority starting from 55–64, so the effect kicks in well before retirement. (This also screws with the labor force participation stats, since unless you check "prime age" there's no upper age boundary.)
- jl2718 7y agoThere are ~5% more males by birth, ~100% more males by Visa, and ~40% more males by illegal immigration.
- magduf 7y agoYes, and even so there's still more women. Basically, men get killed off early.
