Male unemployment

Male unemployment is unemployment, being out of work and actively seeking to work, among men.

The 2008–2012 global recession has been called a "mancession" because of the disproportionate number of men who lost their jobs as compared to women. This gender gap became wide in the United States in 2009, when 10.5% of men in the labor force were unemployed, compared with 8% of women. Three quarters of the jobs lost in the recession in the U.S. were held by men.

Unemployment has been linked to extremely adverse effects on men's mental health.

In the US, only 100 men for every 135 women are receiving bachelor's degrees because of the feminization of the education system over the last 20 years.
