Women weather recession better study shows wage gains
The Economic Policy Institute reports American women fared better than men through the 1989–1993 recession with real wages up 2 percent while men fell 5 percent. By mid 1993 women earned 78 percent of men, a historic rise from 64 percent two decades earlier, with women also increasing employment shares. Labor data show women gained payroll jobs while men declined, and observers note the wage gap narrows partly because men's pay fell.
