The National Women s Law Center reported in February that nearly 2.4 million women left the workforce since February 2020, compared with less than 1.8 million men.

“It was a struggle for the first two weeks,” said Rebecca Smith, a mother of two.
Smith used to work as nursing home administrator, traveling to different facilities and advising them on better practices.
“I loved my role with the company,” said Smith. “I probably would never have left.”
