Unmarried Women Hit Much Harder by Recession of 2008
from Stock Market Crash · host Karmanullify
Since the recession began in December 2007, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 6 million jobs have been lost with unmarried women taken a large hit. “While the country’s economic decline has touched all Americans, its effect on unmarried women has been devastating,” said Page Gardner, President and Founder of Women’s Voices Women Vote (WVWV). The Bureau of Labor Statistics March unemployment rate for unmarried women stands at 9.6%. She said as a woman business owner and advocate of women everywhere, I absolutely believe the timing is ripe for women to decrease that unemployment rate. Why? There is a severe shortage of talent in the labor pool, women graduate from college and have far more degrees than men and finally there has been more money, programs and concentration placed on ‘Work Life Balance’.
