According to an Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) analysis of the December employment report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), men have recovered all of the jobs they lost in the recession and now hold more jobs than at their pre-recession peak. Women surpassed their previous employment peak in September 2013. In November, men gained two out of every three jobs added on nonfarm payrolls (213,000 jobs for men and 108,000 jobs for women, an increase of 321,000 total jobs added).
