j Anti-Vaccination Activists Join Stay-At-Home Order Protesters By www.northernpublicradio.org Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 11:00:00 +0000 Protests over stay-at-home orders because of COVID-19 have become more common around the country.

That's no longer true. The historically disastrous April jobs report shows that the brunt of job losses fell on women.

One way of looking at why that matters that is to look at the gap that opened up between women's and men's unemployment last month.

Usually, the line bumps around near or just below zero — meaning men's unemployment is usually near or slightly higher than women's. But that spike on the far right shows how women's unemployment leapt to be 2.7 points higher than men's in April. Women had an unemployment rate of 16.2% to men's 13.5% last month. That's uncommon for a recession. The below chart is a longer view, and the Full Article
