Interesting read about the rise of women in the workforce.

“New #data shows women are back in the #workforce at record rates — but is it actually ‘good #news’ or just a headline? Lets be clear 📣 #labor force participation doesn’t = #equity. Lets bring more curiosity — and less faux ‘girl #power’ #energy — to the stories behind the headlines.” All excerpts by Randi Braun #inspiredbyyou and your post below. Are we using #data to maintain the status quo or disrupt it? What story are we telling and does it drive change? Let’s start #working #together to change the #narrative? #FloodtheFeed with people calling it out. #narrative #storytelling #investing #economy #business #marketing #communications #belonging #strategy #money #cultureofmoney

Would you call me a self hating feminist if I told you I was tired of the equality conversation? “Lets be clear 📣 labor force participation doesn’t = equity.” -see full post by Randi Braun below And Equity is the ONLY reason patriarchy and all the ~isms attached to an elitist or colonialist mindset has ever decided world order. Equity gaps feed domestic violence. Equity gaps feed gender elimination in favor of less complex and less root cause research. THAT ends up killing women and funding ignorant oppressive governance. I offer #TheCurvyHustleReframe … 👉🏻I suggest feminists take down the lipstick patriarchy feminism version of 2nd /3rd wave feminism right along with the power dominating power flexing of the Patriarchy. Replace both with an alternate mental paradigm that directs all invested planning and funding of programs on the fact women run companies bank high profit and safety. 👉🏻Expect women billonares and millionares to accept The era of Girl Boss is done. 👉🏻Ask women to consume less and still thrive because we can. 👉🏻 Learn from Holy Heroic Stories of women. Model their suble power literacy, position, and fawn the maintainers a bit when they need some cover and rest. Why? Because it is usually a small, simple, sane and strategic way to get the enemy to go to sleep like Bible hero Jael did before ending the terror reign of Sisera ( Book of Judges 4) . My space for this type of POV shift is The Curvy Hustle Society. Imagine if every woman used their most basic tool to Curve the narratives? Something that we use a million times a day, pitching our tents like Jael in the community. At 51% of the population, making 75% of the household purchase decisions we have also hit a time in HIStory where women are the majority graduating with degrees, where we birth all the children they need for namesake legacy, can run a business from our laptops across the globe. What if we leverage our relational inteligence and intergenerational focus to enroll the few women in financial power positions of millionare and billionare to stop supporting and being the lipstick patriarchy? The opportunity to end this illusionary hold men have over equity has presented itself. We are in the process of a global power shift. Despite the inequity, women worldwide have the tools, are in position yet might be misdirecting our life force and focus. 🤔If the focus of our advocacy is only listing the gaps, are we highlighting the wins of our oppressors thus feeding a sense of control? Curvy Rule: No more giving away our collective generative power of the Mind to the past or present circumstances and outcomes. Reframe it: Can someone truly project a sense of love if they identify as the fighter? Is anyone that is fueled by anger and feeling victimized truly able to go all in and embody victory at the same time? Use AI and socials to flip the narrative. 👉🏻Join the circle forming now as a Founder @ www.TheCurvyHustle.com

Millions of women dropped out of the labor force after the pandemic took hold in 2020, according to Labor Department estimates. Working women were more likely to be employed in service sectors that were shut down by social-distancing rules, and many women were burdened with additional responsibilities at home as children attended school online. But as the job market heated up, the percentage of women in the workforce started climbing again, and now 78.4% of U.S. women ages 25 to 54 are working — the highest figure ever recorded. https://lnkd.in/gs3f43Ki

New data shows women are back in the workforce at record rates — but is it actually “good news” or just a headline? Four years after the day the world shut down here’s what we know. 📈 YES, women are (finally) back to work in record numbers BUT… 💰We know the wage gap has widened the length of a generation, not shrunk 📉 Early research shows the hybrid and remote jobs bringing them back have less promotion potential and lower comp 👶 With childcare both scarcer and more expensive than ever women may be back in the workforce but are living, economically, on the razor’s edge 🥵 We’re continuing to hemorrhage women at the leadership level due to burnout Lets be clear 📣 labor force participation doesn’t = equity. Lets bring more curiosity — and less faux “girl power” energy — to the stories behind the headlines. #workforcetrends #labormarket #womenatwork #womenshistorymonth

In 2020, I was one of many reporters who worried that a She-cession would be a long-term disaster for women, keeping us out of the workforce for years and years. Instead, look at the chart. In the U.S. and many other companies there are now more women working than pre-pandemic. This is b/c: 1. the labor market is very strong. 2. Remote and hybrid work has been a boon to women who need more flexible scheduling and 3. Less rosy, inflation has driven up household expenses, pushing more women to work for extra money. Overall though -- more women working is a positive story for both our economy and the women who've entered the job market. A bit of good news for International Women's Day!

The underlying celebratory win to a cooling labor market is women have achieved their highest percentage participation rate in the workforce, ever. As MarketWatch reported, for women ages 25-54, 78.4% of us are working. This news comes at a non-coincidental time for my firm, White Label Advisors, as we are expanding our services in amplifying people. Beyond advising, coaching, and mentoring on corporate people strategies, we are getting real to grasp the underlying data on what it is like for peers, teams and individual contributors under executive female leadership; and, what it is like for executive females as they lead corporations, collaborate with peers, and inspire teams. Watch for our survey next Monday and don't hold back. We'll share quick tips on understanding rater biases to help you best prep to take our concise, efficient, and worthwhile survey. 😉 If you click through to read the report, I'm interested in your thoughts on the perspectives shared in the article. Is this celebratory win all good, somewhat bad, maybe something else needs to be considered? 💡 https://lnkd.in/gaKHz2zX #jobsreport #jobs #womeninbusiness #marketwatch #dowjones #labormarket #executivewomen #people

The proportion of US women in the workforce aged 25 to 54 reached 78.4% in August — the highest percentage so far, but this record could signal underlying problems like household finance issues that need addressing. MarketWatch explores the implications of this achievement and what it means for future labor trends. Dive into the details and understand the broader impact. https://lnkd.in/e7Y_sUe4 #GenderEquity #JobMarketTrends #WorkplaceDiversity
