| Sumario: | This article uses data from the Current Employment Statistics survey to examine changes in women's and men's employment during the 2007-2009 recession. The article also places these changes in historical context, comparing them with longer term employment trends observed throughout previous economic downturns. The analysis suggests that the resilience of women's employment during recessions resulted in women's holding an unprecedented 50 percent of nonfarm jobs during the most recent downturn. Women's employment has made some notable strides over the past several decades, strides that partly reflect the payroll growth of women in an expanding group of service-providing industries that employ more women than men. |
