Millions of women left the workforce at the start of the pandemic, often to shoulder full-time caregiving responsibilities. Three years later, women are making a comeback, but are they working in the right place?
According to the U.S. Labor Department, an all-time high of 77.8% of women ages 25 to 54 are looking for or currently have a job. For women about to join the workforce, HR tech company Checkr ranked 100 of the largest U.S. cities based on factors like the number of women in the local workforce, the number of women in management positions, women’s salaries and wage disparities between genders. Notably, few large, coastal cities made the top ten, and Florida dominated the rankings.
