“The economic recovery is sluggish at best, but women are being largely shut out of it,” said NWLC Co-President Nancy Duff Campbell. “And if the continued pressure on state and local budgets leads to further layoffs in the public sector, 2011 may be even worse for women than 2010.”
During the recession (December 2007 - June 2009) men suffered 71 percent of the job loss. For the first six months of the recovery, men and women lost a similar number of jobs, resulting in men accounting for two-thirds of all lost jobs between December 2007 and the end of 2009. But as the pace of the recovery quickened in 2010, women were largely left behind. Of the 1.11 million jobs added to the economy between January and December 2010, only 120,000—just 10.8 percent—went to women.--National Council of Women's Organizations
