(KERO) â The pandemic pushed more women out of the workforce but also caused a regression when it came to job equity with men.
LinkedIn reports fewer women received promotions into leadership roles in the last year.
Their research showed just under 34-percent of women were hired into senior management roles in the hard-hit travel industry. That s a drop of a full percentage point from 2019. It was a similar situation for women working in retail.
LinkedIn also reports women lost ground when it came to pay equity, ending years of slow progress in that area.
