Unemployment Rates Remain High Among Women

While many women have left the labor force entirely, those who remain have faced high unemployment rates—especially among women of color and those with disabilities. Hover over each line to see the unemployment rate throughout the pandemic.

Note: Unemployment rates for men and women overall, Black women and Hispanic and Latina women are seasonally adjusted and are for people ages 20 and over. The unemployment rate for women with disabilities is not seasonally adjusted and is for women ages 16-64.
