Following repeated reports of American women experiencing a “female recession” as a result of the global pandemic, there’s finally a bit of good news to report on the female-employment job front. According to newly released government data, women accounted for up to 75% of all individuals entering the workforce throughout March 2021.
Mariel Padilla of nonprofit newsroom The 19th has reported that “nearly 500,000 women returned to the workforce in March, compared to about 162,000 men, according to new data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.”
Padilla added that “women-dominated industries, including leisure and hospitality, are beginning to bounce back just as students who have been learning remotely for months return to in-person classes.”
