In 2020, for the second time in history, women held more jobs than men in the U.S. economy, but that all changed again when the pandemic hit. Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows 140,000 jobs were lost in December and women held all of those positions.
Not only that, but women actually lost 156,000 jobs overall during December, while men gained 16,000 jobs, according to the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC).
