Over the past year, women have borne the brunt of the employment fallout sparked by the pandemic with the impact even more severe among women of color.
Lisette Orellana Engel from National Crittendon talks about the challenges facing Latinx mothers during the pandemic. Women of color are more likely to work as essential workers and are overrepresented in sectors that are hardest hit by the pandemic. And in addition, women are overwhelmingly responsible for care — taking care of children and family members.
