Because my facebook isn't working right now...

I came across this article about women and the economy from Christian Science Monitor.
This article was written July 2nd 2008.

You can read it here.

Also listen to the author of the article speak more on the topic. There is a little media player off to the right of the article.

She quotes a lady about how things are actually looking up for women and it was also something I said in class. More women are in college than there are men now. This, I think, will give women a slight upper hand when it comes to finding jobs in the professional world. The jobs hit hard are more of the factory jobs IMO and since men worked more of those sorts of jobs, jobs that do not require degrees, they learned that "skill" and have no other real skills outside of the that sort of work (this is generally speaking and not speaking for all men who work in factories) so them finding a new job would be dependent on them learning a new skill.
