On the one hand, it was manufacturing and construction, predominantly male occupations, that took the first hit in this recession. It only follows naturally that the "service" jobs would follow as state and local governments slash programs such as teachers, etc.

But on the other I call foul on Timothy Geithner. He is a Wall Street hack that should NEVER have been appointed to his position. He is exactly the opposite of what we need. Good God this is like putting the wolf in charge of the hen house. I have nothing good to say about him and about Obama's decision to name him to this position.
