Gender Jobs Outlook – Widest gap in the Americas finds Gallup

The global jobs outlook remained about as dismal in 2013 as it was in 2012, and it was even more so for women than for men in some parts of the world. While men and women in most regions were more likely to say it was a bad time than a good time to find a job, women were more pessimistic than men in Northern America and Latin America and the Caribbean.

Women were also more pessimistic than men in the former Soviet Union and in the European Union, although not to the same degree as in the Americas.
