| Now I want to see the males/females ratio in that graph, I bet most of the unemployed are males, which is something weird I noticed where everyone who’s complaining about the job market are men, meanwhile women are hired and sometimes working two jobs on top of that. |

| The difference is only 11% of men versus 10.5% of women age 16-24 (PDF): https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/youth.pdf |

| ▲ | tamimio an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | That’s probably seasonal/part time/temp jobs given the age bracket, which is another something I noticed, there’s barely any deep studies across the ages. I think there are multiple reasons why females are more employed, but on top of them is the rise of service and nurturing economy (services healthcare etc) compared to other sectors, and these industries are dominated by women, and since there’s a general decline in general in say production or manufacturing, these economies boom, I mean, who’s gonna take care of boomers who dominate the wealth in general? |

| You're getting downvoted because people don't like what you say, but NPR had a piece confirming this just this April: https://www.npr.org/2026/04/10/nx-s1-5773327/women-men-jobs-... > Of the 369,000 jobs the Labor Department says were created since the start of Trump's second term, nearly all — 348,000 of them — went to women, with only 21,000 going to men. That's nearly 17 times as many jobs filled by women as by men. In short, healthcare is the only field adding lots of jobs, and healthcare workers are something like 80% women. Men who are pursuing non-healthcare educational paths are much less likely to find a new job created for them; they'll have to compete for existing, filled jobs. |

That's nearly 17 times as many jobs filled by women as by men. This presentation of the stats sounds really misleading to me. Let’s say there were 10 million quits and 10.369 million hires in that period. 5 million quits and 5.021 million hires among men. 5 million quits and 5.348 million hires among women. In that case, yes it’s true that employment among women improved more than employment among men. No, it’s not true that an unemployed woman was 17x more likely than a man to find a job. Also, the overall employment rate is higher for men than women and the rate has converged over the past several decades. | |
| ▲ | tamimio an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | Thanks for sharing that! It’s something I noticed both online and IRL, it’s only guys (especially young ones) who are crying about the job market, I actually don’t know a single jobless female, all of them are working, and I know plenty who works two jobs! Regarding the downvotes, I really don’t care about the fake online currency, I think their impact is negative in creating echo chambers in communities, and for some reason bringing men struggles is a taboo despite they suffer far more than women, suicide rates are clear example. |

| I like posts like this one because they are completely reasonable, perfectly accurate and easy to prove with links to articles, etc, and yet get downvoted because they dare to question TheMessage. HN resisted a long time compared to Reddit&Co but it eventually fell to the echo chamber syndrom. |
