While women's wages have dropped slightly in recent years, men's wages have dropped much more. The OP article is misleading, or uninteresting at best -- both men and women are worse off in terms of wages.
- hayksaakian 13y agoI think the OP relies on the notion that the overall drop affected people equally independent of gender. The question remains: are men uniquely worse off?
- tsotha 13y agoI don't think there's any question about that, actually. Women tend to cluster in government, academia, and health care, which have been the most resilient sectors in this recession.
- rcthompson 13y agoWell, I came to this article half expecting to read that the pay gap had narrowed because both sexes were equally unemployed, and I guess I wasn't too far off.
