I assume you are looking to ask the 50% of the population with lower unemployment, shorter median unemployment duration, and lower % long-term unemployed: http://www.dol.gov/_sec/media/reports/femalelaborforce/ http://www.dol.gov/_sec/media/reports/femalelaborforce/
- tptacek 14y agoWomen are more likely to work in sectors not as hard-hit by the recession. They don't tend to work construction. They do tend to work in the public sector sharply more often than men. You have to take those statistics in context.
- thedufer 14y agoAs for lower unemployment, you might have noticed that women also have lower employment. As a percentage of people who actually want jobs (employed+unemployed) rather than of the total population, the unemployment rate is basically the same between men and women.
