Last summer, a few snarky economics reports diagnosed our economic condition as a “man-cession,” because layoffs were hitting men lot more than they were hitting women. GOOD explained why at the time, and asked if the same forces that caused “man-cession,” would lead to a “man-covery.” Well, almost. There’s a catchier name now. As we turn that economic corner, we’re in a “he-covery,” but the news to watch now is how women are being left behind. That’s according to data from Dr. James Heintz of the Political Economy Research Institute of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The graphic above, kindly produced for us by the good folks at The Public Society illustrates the point. (Click here or on the image for a larger version.)
