About America’s Sudden Fascination With Hiring Young Women
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/08/2014 11:40 -0500
Yesterday, when we presented what we thought at the time was “The Strangest Number In Today’s Jobs Report” namely the near record surge in workers aged 16-24, which amounted to 528K, or the vast majority of job additions in the month of October…
… we may have been a bit premature.
As it turns out breaking down the job surge from September to October by gender provides an even more peculiar result then an age distribution. Because as the chart below shows, of the 416K jobs added in the 20 and over category, a meager 10% of these went to men: some 90%, or 370,000, went to women! Men aged 20 and over were the recipients of a paltry 48,000 jobs, or 10% of the total increase.
So how does one explain America’s sudden surge in hiring women, and not just any women, but mostly young ones (because we know from yesterday that the bulk of hiring was in the young, 16-24 age group).
Well, as we also showed yesterday, the ongoing record hiring of bartenders and waiters may have something to do with it.
Or rather, now that we know the gender of the job additions, waitresses.
I suspect the huge boost in youngster hiring in October was due to the election. I know back when I was involved with politics, we had tons of young people manning phones, delivering flyers, etc. We’ll see what the hiring looks like in November…
When it comes to food service a woman, young or old, is far less likely to sabotage it unlike some Warcraft dweeb of the same age.
