Yet supposedly the labor force is biased toward men

Did you read that properly? In 2009 women were pretty much equal with us in the amount of jobs held, now, men hold 1.7 million more jobs; I'm guessing employers are realizing the truth: men are better employees.

ALL the jobs lost by women during the Great Recession have been recovered, at least in the private sector. But men still have a way to go before that happens.

I think this will have an impact on hypergamy. If more men are unemployed/underemployed while jobs for women have recovered, in the minds of women, a larger percentage of men will be considered unfit for consideration.
