Gender Bias in the Current Economic Recovery?

Declining Employment Rates for Women in the 21st Century

August 2005, Heather Boushey, David Rosnick, and Dean Baker

This paper compares the current economic recovery — post-2001 recession up to mid-2005 — with its performance in the prior four economic recoveries. It examines how weak job growth has affected older versus younger workers, and how the impact has differed between men and women. (BP200508A)
