Women and Work in the New Economy – D-CA Katie Porter at CNBC @Work Summit

The pandemic has had a devastating impact on working women. Whether from the outsized pressure of the Covid-induced recession on female-dominated industries, or the untenable strain of managing caregiving and work demands, more than 2 million women have left the workforce since the pandemic began. The threat to hard-won parity gains could weigh on women's workforce advancement for many years to come. Congresswoman Katie Porter joins Becky Quick at the CNBC @Work Summit on March 30, 2021, discussing ways government and businesses can rise to meet this urgent challenge, create systemic change, and adapt to the unique challenges of today's economy.
