Men are getting hired more often than women, even though more men than women have lost jobs since the recession, according to a fact sheet released by the Institute for Women's Policy Research.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics also recently released employment figures, which states that men gained 136,000 payroll jobs in July while women lost 19,000 jobs.
Based on IWPR's research, men have gained 27.8 percent – or 1.7 million – of the jobs they lost since November 2007, but women have regained only 10.8 percent – or 281,000 – of the total jobs they lost from the recession. From November 2007 to September 2010, 2.6 million jobs was the low point for women's employment.
