What Does The Future Hold For Women In The Workplace?
4 years ago 110
The pandemic has ravaged industries, causing unemployment numbers to reach
record highs. While everyone has experienced the challenges brought on by
Covid-19, women and people of color have been hit harder both economically
and socially. A year later, 2.4 million women left the workforce with
little prospect of returning.
Women made up less than 25% of the tech workforce, and women of color just
18%, prior to the pandemic. Considering the low numbers of women working in
the tech industry, the loss of women in the workforce along with the "Great
Resignation" is concerning.
