Woman gain as men lose their jobs

At April Now, we don't like to see anyone lose their job, female or male alike. However, even in these dark economic signs, we are seeing signals that our hard work as woman is finally starting to pay off.
According to the US Bureau of Labour Statistics, woman now hold 49.83% of the 132 million jobs in the US.  But, woman are also gaining the vast majority of jobs in the few sectors of the economy that are still growing.  That's a record.  The report also shows that men have lost 1.7 million jobs since the recession began in 2007, while men have lost a staggering 4.8 million jobs. Stunning numbers no matter how you look at them.
