The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate effect on women and triggered the “she-cession.” In the US alone, women lost 5 million jobs, with 80% of jobs lost in government, retail, education & health services, and leisure & hospitality. Where will women in the workforce and the fight to close the gender wealth gap go from here? In this episode, LinkedIn Editor at Large Caroline Fairchild, who covers the future of work and diversity in the workplace, joins us to share insights from the last year, including the outlook for women’s economic recovery.
