1 Bloomberg: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-21/women-s-earnings-will-recover-faster-from-recession-than-men-s-bofa-says.html 2 White House Report: http://www.lipmantimes.com/?p=15666 Economic Impact of the Recession on Women “Women will rebound from the U.S. recession before men because females didn’t lose as many jobs as males did during the recession. Some of the industries most affected by the economy, such as manufacturing and construction, had more male than female workers. The unemployment rate for women, 8.9 percent, compared with 10.6 percent for men, is the widest it’s ever been.” 1 According to White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, “Women comprise 50% of the work force and complete college at a higher rate than their male counterparts.”

SFN Group’s New Web Series Targeting Professional Women • Our goal as a workforce organization and employer is to provide employment opportunities that support the advancement of women at every stage of their career. • A Nielsen research study that showed working women between the ages of 25-44 spent an average 350 minutes online every day and they are watching a lot of web video as a means to escape and take a break during the work day. • Television doesn't offer much in terms of programming produced specifically for, and designed to help real women. We recognized this programming gap and turned to the web as a means to tell the stories we weren’t seeing anywhere else, just as we did in 2006 when we created our first series: The Temp Life • In 2011, we announced the launch of our NEW web seriesBestSellers--a multi-generational dramedy web series about five modern professional women balancing life, career and book club.
