Among working women in the U.S, nearly half are concentrated in low-wage jobs. Despite being more likely to have a four-year college degree than men, women overall still earn only 84% of men’s pay. Disparities are greater for women of color: Black and Latina women earning only 64% and 57% respectively.
Enter COVID-19. The last two years have deepened gender inequalities in the workforce. Women face greater unemployment and increasing domestic labor burdens.
