(CNN) President Joe Biden says his roughly $2 trillion infrastructure plan will help create millions of jobs. But many of the proposed jobs are in historically male-dominated fields and experts worry the plan won t do enough for America s women, who lost more jobs during the pandemic.
The massive spending plan is slated to improve the nation s infrastructure and move toward a greener economy over the next eight years. This would include investments in sectors like transportation, manufacturing and housing, which have historically employed more men than women.
While infrastructure improvements are important for all, they don t address the increased inequality in the pandemic economy, labor economists told CNN Business.
