The share of employed mothers is 1.9 percent higher than in February 2020, showing that “maternal employment has more or less recovered for most groups of moms,”to a new analysis released by the U.S. Department of Labor. The return to work comes after mothers’ employment plummeted 15.7 percent from February to April 2020.
The analysis of the Current Population Survey revealed that many groups of mothers’ employment rates “now exceed pre-pandemic levels,” including Asian moms, Hispanic moms, moms with bachelor’s degrees, and moms whose youngest child is younger than six years old. For other mothers, including those with less than a bachelor’s degree and those whose youngest child is between 13 and 17 years old, the employment rates are around pre-pandemic levels, the Women’s Bureau found.
