Black women are leaving the workforce and it’s a warning sign for the entire economy. From media to tech, more than 300,000 Black women have left their jobs in the last year. What’s driving this exodus, and what does it reveal about the state of work in America? Bridget speaks with:

Anna Gifty, economist and author of the fascinating new book The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged, and Underpaid, and 

sociologist Marianne Cooper,  Senior Research Scholar at Stanford University's VMware Women's Leadership Innovation Lab, 

about the economic pressures, pay gaps, and burnout pushing Black women out and why their exit should concern everyone.
