Unemployment For Women Not Getting Better

This article discusses how women's struggles in the current recession has been less well-known than that of men in the decade of declining wages. Sixty-six percent of government jobs lost since the recovery began were once held by women. Instead of passing bills that could have saved thousands of government jobs held by women, Congress has instead, earmarked funding to create jobs for underrepresented groups in male-dominated industries such as construction. This may be because there is still a lingering belief in our culture that it is more important to put unemployed men back to work than it is to put women back in their jobs.
