| When Women Lose All the Jobs: Essential Actions for a Gender-Equitable Recovery |
| By Diana Boesch and Shilpa Phadke |
Hi John,
The data is clear – women, especially women of color, are continuing to bear the brunt of the coronavirus induced economic crisis. In the last 10 months, women have lost a net of 5.4 million jobs, nearly one million more jobs than men. Moreover, the nation's employment numbers for December revealed that the nonfarm payroll job losses for the month were entirely borne by women. Women and their families urgently need bold, structural policy changes that prioritize their economic security in order to ensure a gender-equitable recovery—one on which the success of the entire U.S. economy rests.
Our new brief, When Women Lose All the Jobs breaks down the latest employment data by race, gender, and ethnicity, contextualized within women's employment conditions before the pandemic, and recommends policy solutions to ensure the economic security of women and their families.
