Although men have lost more jobs than women over a longer timeframe, they have gained slightly more jobs than women, who are still struggling, according to new research from the Institute for Women's Policy Research.
Between December 2007 and September 2010, women lost 2.7 million jobs, and by June 2011, only 11 percent those jobs have been regained. Women experienced the recession's job loss later than men; however, their recovery has been slower with weaker results, the research finds.
While men faced 33 months of near consecutive job loss before the recession even began, women saw 23 months of near consecutive job loss, which started five months after the recession hit. The size and length of consecutive job loss for both men and women has not been seen since the 1930's Great Depression.
