Abortion rights, women of color, and LGBTQIA+ people are under attack. Pledge to join us in fighting for gender justice.
The most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) monthly jobs report shows that the economy gained 943,000 jobs in July 2021. Women accounted for 68.8% of job gains last month, gaining 649,000 jobs while men gained 294,000. Nevertheless, women will need nearly 5 straight months of job gains at last month’s high level to recover the nearly 3.1 million net jobs they have lost since February 2020.
