A recent study has shown that individuals in blue-collar industries have been hit especially hard by the recession, and divorce rates among this demographic have risen significantly in recent months. Job losses have hit men the hardest, accounting for nearly 75% of the total unemployment claims.

Where nearly 5% of college-educated men reported layoffs and job-loss, the number was significantly higher for non-college educated men at 11.1 %.  Along with the loss of employment, reported cases of depression and divorce have increased greatly. 

 Experts are concerned that divorce rates will again spike when the recession ends, and many believe that most cases will be found among the working-class, further widening the divide between college-educated and blue-collar Americans.
