Wondering how women are making out during the Obama years?
Wonder no more.
Here, in answer, is the first part of Paul Bedard\’s piece for the Washington Examiner:
All of the employment gains among women since the recession hit in December 2007 have been taken by foreigners, even at a time when the numbers of U.S.-born women surged more than 600,000, according to new federal statistics.
The jobs data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed gains in the “employment level” among “foreign born women” and losses among “native born women.”
The charts show that 9.041 million foreign-born women held jobs in December of 2007 compared to 10.028 million today – or a gain of roughly 1 million jobs.
In contrast, 59.322 million U.S.-born women held jobs in December of 2007 compared to 59.258 million today – or a loss of nearly 64,000 jobs.
Point of order: This time period encompasses about 7 1/2 years. And the last 6 1/2 of those years have been under President Barack Obama.
Isn\’t he one of the Democrats telling us that Republicans are waging a war on women?
Well, what is this, if not a war on women\’s wages?
Just asking….
