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.[1][2] Three quarters of the jobs lost in the recession in the U.S. were held by men.[3][4]
