Like many things out there (wage gap for example) this is oversimplifying the problem. Women tend to take more stable, government related, recession proof jobs. Although the pay isn't as great, this is one of the reasons men are in the double digits and women are not.

Usually recession causes the loss of construction jobs, which is dominated by males. Another reason is there's more women who give up looking for jobs and stay at home than men. (unemployment doesn't count people who gave up looking for jobs). But on the other hand, this is a good graph showing that females are not suffering from disavantages in hiring.

dont worry, once the shit all levels out we'll all be fucked. teaching/nursing/etc are getting cut as the money runs dry, and police/fire will get hit at the same time. manufacture and construction has been taken over seas already.. the employment gap will be leveled by the fact that the average wage for everyone has dropped to come in line with men and women serving in the work force, competing with slaves overseas.

in 2 years this chart will be a sad afterthought.

overall we are all getting screwed. but yeah, more women currently have it up, but we're all going down.

And the relevant data showing the % of women and men actually seeking jobs?

Good thing the government took its focus off value-producing manufacturing jobs dominated by men and made sure value-draining public sector service jobs dominated by women got stimulus money even though men lost many more jobs than women.

Obviously when women do better than men it's because they are smarter and more talented than men and when men do better it's because of the patriarchy that subjugates them and keeps them down.
