On March 29, Annuity.org published its latest feature article, “Impact of COVID-19 on Women in the Labor Force,” which examines workplace disparities, financial challenges and resources for working women.
An estimated 2.5 million women left the labor force between February and December 2020 — compared with 1.8 million men. The participation rate of women in the U.S. labor force has reached its lowest point since 1988, and the pandemic has compounded the issues that working women have faced for decades.
Annuity.org partnered with experts to unravel the reasons women are disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and offer resources for women in need.
