  • Currently, more women are in the U.S. workforce than ever
  • ‘She-cession’ trend is being reversed after women left their jobs during the pandemic
  • In April, women’s workforce participation rate hit a record high of 77.5%

More women aged 25-54 are back in the U.S. workforce than ever before, reversing a pandemic trend that saw them leaving their jobs in droves. In April, women’s workforce participation rate reached a record high of 77.5%, exceeding the record set in 2000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

After millions lost their jobs or resigned to care for their families during the COVID-19 outbreak, the number of women in the workforce returned to pre-pandemic levels in January. There has also been a significant increase in the number of women seeking employment or already employed, falling within the age group of 25-54, considered prime working age.
