COVID, Frontline Workers and Women in the Workforce

Episode Details

The economic impact of the COVID recession has differed widely across groups of people. Pamela Meyerhofer joins EconoFact Chats to discuss some of these differential impacts, focusing on women’s experiences in the labor force, as well as those of frontline workers — those who were providing essential in-person services and facing the biggest risks at the beginning of the pandemic.

Pamela is a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Montana State University.
