The COVID-19 recession was particularly harmful for working women. Studies show the economic fallout from the pandemic had an outsized impact on low-wage jobs, which disproportionately employ women, and many working women shouldered an outsized portion of the burden stemming from disruptions to childcare and school systems. In a new study, SmartAsset analyzed data for all 50 states and the District of Columbia to uncover where working women were most economically impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We considered six metrics spanning two categories: employment and pay.According to our analysis, Michigan ranks in top 10 states where COVID-19 most affected women workers, at #9, see infographic at bottom of the article.  The full study, including the methodology and key findings, can be found here: https://smartasset.com/data-studies/states-where-covid-19-most-affected-women-workers-2021
