Nope. Just pointing out your hypocrisy.
And the hypocrisy would be.... ?
The so-called party of women has failed its women. It's right there in the article, christiecommunistfan. Why can't you perverts keep some of the fairer sex afloat?
Irony abounds.

How many of those degrees are not in humanities, social or media studies?

You're going to have to help me out here, granuloma. I went on the BLS site and it shows more women employed in Oct. than in Sept., and more employed this year than were employed a year ago.

The one in orthodontics, if I move to England I'll be the first
Women, 20 years and over: Employed Sept. 2013 = 65,582/ Employed Oct. 2013 = 65,255/Employed Oct. 2012 = 65,316
Women, 20 years and over: Not in labor force Sept. 2013 = 49,195/ Not in labor force Oct. 2013 = 49,539 /Not in labor force Oct. 2012 = 47,703
[Numbers in thousands]
FTFY
American women participating in the nation’s labor force hit a new low at a rate of 56.9 percent in October, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Additionally, the number of women holding jobs declined by 357,000 from September to October, and the unemployment rate increased for women from 6.7 percent to 6.9 percent.
In October, according to the BLS, the labor force participation rate for women was 56.9 percent, down from 57.1 percent in September and 57.3 percent in August.
As calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a person participates in the labor force if they are 16 or older, not institutionalized, and either have a job or have actively sought a job in the last four weeks. The labor force participation rate is the percentage of people over 16 in the non-institutionalized population who either have a job or actively sought one in the last four weeks.
In September, according to the BLS, the female civilian labor force was 72,705,000. In October it dropped to 72,492,000—a decline of 213,000.
Similarly, the number of women working in America dropped from 67,851,000 in September to 67,494,000 in October—a decline of 357,000.

Democrats war on women continues....
Using leftist logic; this means Obama hates women.
There's more straw in your arguments than can fill a barn dimwit. You really are THAT incredibly stupid.
He really is THAT stupid and repugnant; which is why I have him on ignore. Life is too short for stupid.
Look again, christiecommunistfan. It looks like you stopped reading after the 2012 and 2013 comparisons. You can't just assume the numbers keep going up. Notice the unfavorable comparisons from Sept to October 2013.
Interesting how this bad news takes effect shortly after Obamacare crashes the scene.
You have to watch these libs. They'll post links and claim the data at that link proves their point. It pays to check.
