    Nearly half of US jobs now held by women
    [ 2009-11-24 15:54 ]

     

    This is the VOA Special English Economics Report.

    Women are on their way to holding more than half of all American jobs. The latest government report shows that their share of nonfarm jobs nearly reached 50 percent in September.

    Not only have more and more women entered the labor market over the years. But the recession has been harder on men. In October the unemployment rate for men was almost 11 percent compared to eight percent for women.

    Industries that traditionally use lots of men have suffered deep cuts. For example, manufacturing and building lost more jobs last month. But health care and temporary employment services have had job growth. Both of those industries employ high percentages of women.

    Thirty years ago, women earned 62 cents for every dollar that men earned. Now, for those who usually work full time, women earn about 80 percent of what men earn. And women hold 51 percent of good-paying management and professional jobs.

    Yet a study released Thursday said men still hold about nine out of every ten top positions at the 400 largest companies in California. The results have remained largely unchanged in five years of studies from the University of California, Davis.

    Also, a new research paper in the journal Sex Roles looks at the experiences of women who are the main earners in their family. Rebecca Meisenbach at the University of Missouri in Columbia interviewed 15 women. She found they all valued their independence and many enjoyed having the power of control, though not all wanted it.

    But they also felt pressure, worry and guilt. Partly that was because of cultural expectations that working women will still take care of the children. Also, men who are not the main earners may feel threatened.

    The job market continues to suffer the effects of last year's financial crash. Now, a judgment has been reached in the first case involving charges of criminal wrongdoing on Wall Street.

    Last week, the government lost its case against two managers at Bear Stearns, the first investment bank to fail last year. A jury found Ralph Cioffi and Matthew Tannin not guilty of lying to investors.

    The hedge funds they supervised lost their value in 2007. But jurors said there was no clear evidence that they meant to mislead investors.

    The Justice Department continues to investigate other companies.

    And that's the VOA Special English Economics Report, written by Mario Ritter. I'm Steve Ember.
