An interesting article with a couple of simple points describing how women may be weathering the global economic downturn - read the original article here.

Men Hit Hardest by Job Losses

By Susanne Amann

The economic crisis is leading to huge job losses but not everyone is equally at risk. The worst affected areas, such as the automobile and construction sectors, are largely male domains. Women, it seems, have simply adapted better to the changing world of work.

The images are repeating themselves these days: Continental workers are demonstrating in France, autoworkers are demanding a rescue plan for Opel in the German city of Rüsselheim, while in New York and London bankers are clearing out their desks. They are the images of a crisis and the faces have one thing in common: They are almost all men.

Shipyard workers demonstrating in Bremerhaven: Men have been especially hard hit by the recession.

As the crisis continues unabated and the collapse of the global economy pushes up unemployment figures, one thing is becoming clear: The crisis is disproportionately affecting men. Almost 80 percent of the 5.1 million Americans who have lost their jobs in recent months have been men. The US male unemployment figure is now 8.8 percent, while it is still only 7 percent for women.

The article goes on to site women and their flexibility provide a greater advantage:

"Women are also more flexible when it comes to location or type of job and they adapt more quickly," says Falk of the DGB. "If a woman realizes that she hasn't got any more prospects somewhere then she tries to go somewhere else. It's something we have experienced in eastern Germany in the past." Many women from eastern Germany have in recent years left to go to western states, or even emigrated, in pursuit of job opportunities.

"In a society where services are becoming increasingly important, women quite simply have the better jobs," says Hans Bertram, a sociologist at the Humboldt University in Berlin.

"I watched last month's Show and it blew me away!!" - Jay Calabrese, Resident Judson Park, Cleveland, Ohio and co-Founder of "Let's Talk."

Here are my notes from our meeting following this morning's Live Broadcast:

• suggested future topic: talk about the women who have helped to save Cleveland
  
• talk about women who saved Doan Brook
• explore the idea of how women save things such as in Cleveland, Ohio, Playhouse Square. Michael Schwatz - Pres of Cleveland State University has accomplished many efforts to restore/save places in the greater Cleveland metro area. Also look to Layne Hadden restoring creative industries
• should focus on how this topic affects women and how women are affected by the topic
• the Quakers are important to restoring/saving
  
• look to the model of University Circle and the beginning of the Art Museum - all privately funded (?)
• what is the legacy the older generation is able to share with the younger generation?
• topic: the women who made Cleveland what it is
• women who have made an impact on Cleveland, contributed
• what factors figure in leading up to the building of Severance Hall?
