Via the NY Times: "The proportion of women who are working has changed very little since
the recession started. But a full 82 percent of the job losses have befallen men, who are heavily represented in distressed industries like manufacturing and construction. Women tend to be employed in areas like
education and health care, which are less sensitive to economic ups and
downs..."

I wonder how the US workforce gender ratio compares to other countries?
