The New York Times called it "The Primal Scream." What you heard when working moms threw in the pandemic towel. Child care, school, and work can't all win in a pandemic, SO WOMEN LOST. 5.4 MILLION JOBS, to be precise.
Pandemic Realities:
32% of women ages 25-44 said child care was the reason for unemployment.
9% drop in labor force participation by unpartnered mothers, the largest among all groups of parents.
48% of Black mothers said the pandemic impacted their ability to pay for necessities, like utilities, housing, and food.
Women of color saw the worst unemployment rates of all.
69% of mothers experienced adverse health effects related to pandemic worry and stress.
This isn't burnout, this is betrayal.
