#481 What’s Keeping Women From The Workforce?

Alise, Sami, and Amanda break down two converging moments in the pandemic: the first-ever nationwide case decline, and a shocking job report signaling we’re not quite ready to return to pre-pandemic life. They discuss the factors that have prevented some from returning to the workforce, particularly women. Why are men re-entering the labor market while women keep leaving it? Then, they break down a spate of abortion bans across the U.S. Finally, Amanda chats with Alexis McGill Johnson, CEO of Planned Parenthood of America, to discuss National Health Week.
