"Between January 2009 and March 2012 men lost 57,000 jobs, while women lost 683,000 jobs. This is the reverse of the recession period of December 2007-June 2009 (with an overlap of six months) which saw men lose 5,355,000 jobs and women lose 2,124,000 jobs," Steinberg told us in an email.Kevin Drum provides a nice graph that shows the full picture:
So timing was important. And if you count all those jobs lost beginning in 2007, women account for just 39.7 percent of the total.
