Women Get 348,000 New Jobs vs 21,000 for Men Since Trump's Second Term
Women got 348,000 of the 369,000 new jobs created since President Trump's second term started. Men received only 21,000 new jobs during the same period.
Women are dominating job growth in ways never seen before. Since President Trump's second term began, women landed 348,000 of the 369,000 new jobs created, leaving just 21,000 for men.
This marks the third time in American history that women hold more jobs than men. But a Federal Reserve economist says this time the trend won't reverse like it did before.
The job market is changing fast. Traditional male jobs in manufacturing and construction are shrinking. Meanwhile, female-dominated fields like healthcare and education keep growing.
One economist suggests making these growing industries more appealing to men. The idea is finding ways to "make girly jobs appeal to manly men" to help unemployed men find work.
This shift is creating a new economic trend: more stay-at-home boyfriends as their female partners become the primary earners.
This shift affects family finances and career plans. Traditional male-dominated jobs like manufacturing are disappearing while female-led jobs in healthcare are growing. For the third time in history, women now hold more jobs than men in America.
Watch for more data on job growth by gender and potential policy changes to address male unemployment in traditional industries.
