Perspectives On The New Century's Forgotten Man

If it's still a man's world out there, it isn't the world OTR knew in 1968 when he graduated from college. Today, women still make less - 77 cents - per buck than men, but single women under thirty out-earn men of the same age group. And for every 100 college graduates in the Class of 2012, sixty of them will be women. And once on a job backed by fifty years of equal opportunity, for every woman who dies or incurs serious injury, there will be nine men with the same fate.

Marty Nemko explores the contemporary world of work and what he perceives as a bias against men in this article posted at The Atlantic. Note that there is a link to an equally interesting response above the photograph in Nemko's column.
