Much of women’s economic recovery has been driven by hiring in the leisure and hospitality sector, the National Women’s Law Center reports.
But leisure and hospitality is a sector with"high turnover, low wages, limited access to employer-sponsored benefits and unpredictable schedules," says Jasmine Tucker, the NWLC's director of research.
"It's great that women are gaining jobs, but that doesn't necessarily mean that these are good quality jobs, and they're able to support themselves, or their families, with them," Tucker adds. published by the NWLC earlier this week noted that the typical annual wages for a woman working full-time in the leisure and hospitality sector were just $30,000 compared to men's $36,500 in 2020, the most recent year for which data is available.
The average hourly earnings for women working in leisure and hospitality are also far below the average hourly earnings in many other sectors such as construction, education and health services, and manufacturing. Despite May's overall strong jobs report, employers shouldn't take their foot off the gas with hiring and retention efforts targeting working women, Tucker says. As she notes:"We're moving in the right direction with economic recovery, but we've still got a long way to go."
