Bush was cursed out for having job growth numbers 3 times as strong as this.

I know, it could be better -- but, jobs ARE being created -- unlike in the last Bush year.

It was higher during the 80's under Reagan.

I know you don't want to hear this, but things are picking up. I see "help wanted" signs up too, see houses being built and see my own business picking up. Nothing by leaps and bounds but it's beginning.

I'm guessing that the mother of the shop superintendent was hired to do war work, and stayed on after the end of WWII. However, in this case, I do think bingbong is correct--operating positions in the modern NYCT did not open up to women until the late 1970s, IIRC.

I miss the days of 700,000+ jobs being lost every month during the Bush Economic Collapse.

Sounds like Nazy Germany. Although a few at the top would like to recreate their methods, they also had to mess around with things to lower the jobs universe to bring things back.

the Congressional Budget Office estimated on Friday, including a $196 billion hole in March, marking the 40th straight month of deficits.

....means the government has never run a surplus in any month during President Obama’s tenure. The longest previous deficit streak on record was 11 months.

Another record for the worst recovery ever recorded!

I'm still waiting for someone to post proof of that. When I got to NYCT there were women there with seniority in operating titles. It seems that the only two people insisting that this is not true are two people who are not known for their accuracy in recounting history (They are both full of shit).

Since you're good at pulling records, why not just go back to the early to mid 1970's and find one ... you're the one who claims there WERE women, find one.

Precisely.

Not everything is Obama's, or any president's, fault.

Women have lower IQ's (by about 4 points on average) than men. They also lead different lives (e.g., greater number of SAHM's). There's no reason to expect that the employment rates would be the same between the sexes.

We're nearing my predicted scenario where half of the U.S. is subsidized to purchase from the other half.

Yes—an inevitable consequence of both the advent of automation and the diminishing average IQ of the population. I predicted the former problem at least a decade ago...

I find that hard to believe, not from some lab testing results but from actual behavior. I know a multitude of women who have prevented their men from doing some really stupid things. Seriously, I would look for a flaw in the IQ tests there.

Fred

Based on one specific woman who posts here, I'd say 4 points is very conservative.

Haha yes behind every great man...

But yes, on average, women do have lower IQ. They also have a lower standard deviation, which means they are more clustered about the average; there are more men at both extremes (genius and ignoramus). But the edge that men have is in non-verbal reasoning, especially spatial reasoning. Women have an edge at verbal reasoning that allows them to tie men on certain IQ tests.

The edge at verbal reasoning might be why great men need their women... ;)
