War on Women Update: 180,000 American Women LOSE jobs in March!

War on Women Update - We have covered the Democrat Party's unceasing WAR ON WOMEN herehere, here, here, here etc on CC.  Will the Democrats ever let up on their War on Women?  Unlikely because that is what they do.  Nevertheless here is today's latest update on the War on Women.
The number of women who were unemployed in the United States climbed 180,000 in March, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
In March, there were 4,850,000 unemployed women, 180,000 more than the 4,670,000 American women were unemployed in February, according to BLS.
At the same time, the unemployment rate for women rose from 6.4 percent in February to 6.6 percent in March.
To be counted as unemployed, a person must have actively sought a job in the last four weeks and be part of what BLS calls the civilian noninstitutional population (meaning a person is 16 or older and not on active duty in the military or in an institution such as a prison, mental hospital or nursing home).
The number of American women who had jobs dropped 133,000 from February to March, declining from 68,458,000 to 68,325,000.
