STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A city study has revealed that women -- particularly women of color -- are leaving the workforce in record-high numbers due to the lack of flexibility to work remotely during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Spearheaded by New York City Comptroller Scott M. Stringer and A Better Balance, the Work and Family Survey, launched in October 2020, sought to better understand how New Yorkers have navigated professional and personal responsibilities during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
