'...women in tech are 1.6x more likely than men to be laid-off or furloughed.'
, tech companies are far less impacted than anyrequiring face-to-face interactions, especially in the travel, restaurant, and hospitality industries. Fortunately, many tech company employees are able to work from home and companies have quickly made the pivot to remote work.
That having been said, the TrustRadius survey revealed that women in tech are 1.6x more likely than men to be laid-off or furloughed. They found that 8% of female respondents had lost their jobs, as opposed to 5% of male respondents. This was consistent with results of a much larger survey of the general US population conducted by Langer Research, which found that 37% of women vs. 28% of men across industries have been laid-off due to coronavirus.
Yet even as they are struggling to care for their children full-time, women also are more likely than men in tech to feel an increased pressure to be productive. 40% of the female TrustRadius survey respondents said they feel more pressure, compared to only 31% of male respondents.TrustRadius
