Well, the report said that in the public sector 57% of jobs are filled by women and that 8 out of 10 jobs lost in this sector was lost by women.

Personally, this shit pisses me off. Why I am surprised it is so high (90%), I don't know. But, it really ticks me off. Perhaps I need to learn more about it (noting Jo's comment) before shooting off, but it does make me angry if this is the case.
