Gloria digs into a devastating report on how the pandemic has affected women and their families with Fatima Goss Graves, President and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center. The numbers in this NWLC report, “Resilient But Not Recovered,” are sobering. There are 1.1 million fewer women in the labor force today than there were in February 2020. More than 2/3 of the net jobs lost since the pandemic began were women’s jobs. Only 41% of mothers who left the workforce during the pandemic have returned to work, compared to 78% of fathers. Fatima tells Gloria why women are emerging from the pandemic in worse economic shape than men, what role child care plays in that, and what needs to happen to make things better for women — at work and at home.
