Since President Barack Obama took office in January 2009, the U.S. economy has employed an additional 3,590,000 people, but only 1,386,000 of those people—or 38.6 percent–have been women.
At the same time, women represent 46.8 percent of the national civilian labor force. That means women are getting a smaller share of the jobs being added to the economy (38.6 percent) than their representation in the civilian labor force (46.8 percent).
The percentage of the added jobs that have gone to women is even smaller if measured from the post-recession nadir of employment, which took place in December 2009. Since then, only 37.7 percent of the net additional jobs have gone to women.
The civilian labor force includes all people in the United States 16 or older who are not on active duty in the military, or in an institution such as a nursing home, prison, or mental hospital and who either have a job or have actively sought one in the last four weeks. As of March, the civilian labor force totaled 156,227,000. This included 83,052,000 (or 53.2 percent) men and 73,175,000 (or 46.8 percent) women.
