Based on an analysis of the January employment report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics by the Institute for Women's Policy Research, women are seeing growing employment opportunities as there was equal job growth over the past three months for men and women at 206,000 jobs each.
During the recovery, most of the job growth has been experienced by men, IWPR reports.
In December, women were offered 89,000 jobs, and men gained 111,000 jobs. According to the revised numbers for October and November, 117,000 new jobs for women have been created since September compared with 95,000 for men. December job growth was moderate as 200,000 jobs were created to nonfarm payrolls, which is up from 100,000 new jobs in November but down from 210,000 in September.
