Clearly, the 2. 5% gap between the male and female unemployment makes for an interesting set of data points. It’s the largest gap since World War 11, and economists blame it on the huge layoffs in manufacturing and construction.where men made up roughly 70% and 85% of the workforce.
But while it’s true that the "Great Recession" has hurt guys, these aren’t exactly boom times for women. True. women have suffered fewer job losses than men, but overall they still earn only78 cents for every dollar a man makes. according to Center for American Progress. Much of their work is concentrated in lower-paid industries such as retail, hospitality.education.nonprofits and health care.
The jobs that women are holding on to typically lack benefits.retirement savings plans, or pensions. "The strong part of women’s participation in the labor force is also the weak part. Their salaries are limited, " says Heidi Hartmann.an economist and president of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. "Women tend to choose a path that’s less risky, that’s more secure for their families." When asked about the mancession, Hartmann then scoffed(嘲笑)a little. "It becomes a problem when white men start to suffer."
The great hope of labor economists who study this trend—and they’re mostly women—is that the mancession will prompt employers to raise women’s wages and open up more lucrative fields such as high tech and finance to greater numbers of women. The wage gap between the genders has largely been static during this decade. Still, roughly 35% of women now bring home at least half of their family’s income.
College-educated women without children have made the largest advances in terms of closing the income gap, but women with less schooling and those with small children still earn substantially less than men. "Maybe this will be an opportunity for people to rethink paid employment, particularly now that families are dependent on the earnings of the wife, " says Eileen Appelbaum.an economist and director of the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University."A lot of the jobs out here for women are in nursing or as home health aides. Those are not jobs that pay family-sustaining wages." [br] What does the author tell us about women in "Great Recession"?
