“I’m just glad I brushed my hair today.” The challenges, and some strategies, for working moms during a global pandemic.
A year ago, things were looking good for working women. At the end of 2019, the number of women in the workplace surpassed the number of men for the first time in a decade. But the pandemic has driven so many women out of the workforce to undo that progress, according to a recent report from McKinsey & Company.
