The employment release showed a MASSIVE divergence between the male and female workforce. The number of unemployed males dropped significantly (ALL caused by the a dropping out of the workforce), while female unemployment rates spiked (they reentered the workforce).

My guess? Males dominate manufacturing sector, which continues to struggle. Females came back to the workforce for the holiday season, yet were unable to find jobs.
