How the Recession is Affecting Men

Greg Burns has a great column in today’s Chicago Tribune on how the current recession is affecting men.  I have seen claims that 70% or more of recent layoffs affected men.  Burns lays out why this disparity has occurred, and why it may get even worse in the future. 

As I said in my last post, I don’t like scary headlines or stories.  Burns’ column is measured in its tone and strong in its evidence.  Good journalism still exists.

Postscript:  The New York Times reports on the “mancession.”
