The 2008 recession left the U.S. economy at its lowest point since the Great Depression. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national unemployment rate was 9.5% for adult men and 7.5% for adult women, with the total unemployed at 13.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 2009. Despite the fact that women comprised over 51% of the United States population and a large part of the workforce, they still only held 15.7% of corporate officer positions (Catalyst, 2008). The limited number of women in these positions meant that any significant loss of women would have a traumatic impact on the gains that women had made over the past century. This qualitative phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of women who had held mid-to-upper-level management positions who suddenly found themselves unemployed for six months or more. Eight women responded to a demographic survey via e-mail and were interviewed by telephone. The analysis of these data revealed five themes: (a) financial changes, (b) social life changes, (c) mixed emotions, (d) relationship changes and, (e) glass ceiling. The study results provide deep insight into the experiences of the former managers as they managed the life changes that emerged as a result of their unemployment.
