Women hammered by COVID job losses as they are at the bottom (with no benefits)

[Centerleftfl]

But who gives a shit right? Women? Dark women? Women with kids. (Women who are LEAST likely to get their required child support--remember, 40% of all mandated child support is unpaid). Trump (with aid of some states) is cutting SNAP and is reducing housing subsidies. Create another massive wave of HOMELESS? And of course we know about the MANY states who didn't take the additional 'Medicaid' subsidies because it was part of the Obama plan.

Drive them to the streets, starve 'em to death? Only problem with this logic is how does BUSINESS create America's next generation of 'MINIMUM WAGE WORKERS? No, that is NOT hyperbole. That is an institutional capitalist requirement.

I guess there is LOGIC in all of this but I'll be damned if I can figure it out. Maybe it is just more PUNITIVE behavior from a punishing RIGHT.


Women suffering steeper job losses in COVID-19 economy

BY NIV ELIS - 05/25/20 08:45 PM EDT 757


The economic devastation caused by the coronavirus has hit women particularly hard, a contrast to the 2009 downturn that was known as "the men's recession."

The latest employment figures show that women, by a 10-point margin, have seen the majority of the job losses as large parts of the economy have shut down.

The difference could have implications for the recovery and what policymakers need to do to ensure it’s not drawn out. One primary reason that women are seeing higher unemployment rates is that the pandemic and the lockdowns have hit sectors of the economy that disproportionately employ women.

“This is a really atypical recession, in that we’ve proactively shut down major sectors of the economy and there’s a dropoff in demand that we’ve never seen before, both caused by the global health crisis,” said Shai Akabas, director of economic policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center.

Whereas the Great Recession that started in 2008 hit male-dominated industries such as construction and manufacturing first, the total lockdowns that characterized the past few months have been tougher on certain retail sectors.

For example, women represent 73 percent of employees in clothing stores, 71 percent in gift, novelty, souvenir stores, and 75 percent of retail florists. In accommodation and food services, they have a slight edge at 53 percent employment representation, and also dominate beauty salons, nail salons and personal care services that social distancing has made prohibitive.

But Elise Gould, a senior economist at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute, said there’s more to the story. “Even in the male-dominated industries, women are losing their jobs at greater rates,” she said.

For example, in February and March, women accounted for three-quarters of job losses in retail trade, even though they make up about half of the workforce. In professional and business services, where women account for just 46 percent of all employees, they lost 56 percent of the jobs....

The only thing you have that is right.... “but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.”

The virus from China caused the economic loss.

It will recover to the booming economy it was before the virus from China.

The CHINA virus ain't taking--among sane people. You better find another country or __fill in blank__ to blame.

How long did that BLAMING MEXICO tactic hold? Until people realized that Central American 'illegals' were poring in too and even overwhelming Mexico. As I said and will repeat, enjoy your short lived TARGET. Maybe it will work till NOV for the perpetually stupid.

But remember the meme has been running for what 7 or 8 weeks and Biden is still 11 points ahead of Trump (+8 from FOX).

Mexico was not stopping illegals from Central America at their southern border until President Trump threatened Mexico with economic sanctions.

Now, they are.

Mexico has nothing to do with China hiding the fact that this virus they unleashed on the world was so contagious and deadly.
