The MENCESSION
US women dominate labor sector as “mensession” hits America
The current recession is a protracted period of high unemployment, especially in traditionally male-dominated sectors. The recession – it has been called the “mensession” … because construction and finance are male dominated, and three-quarters of all job losses since the recession began have been to men and that really is part of a longer standing trend. For the first time in US history women held more jobs than men in the US. The short-and long-term consequences of this economic scenario may have a deleterious effect on American society.
When men do not work, marriages tend to sour pretty quickly so I think that if male joblessness persists you are likely to see a rise in divorce rates. “Women… initiate two-thirds of all divorces, and you might see a wave of them heading forward.
Meanwhile, the recession may be responsible for offsetting marriages until better times.
