New York Governor, Kathy Hochul, announced that she's ordering a study on how COVID-19 affected women in the workplace by directing the Department of Labor to hold hearings and gather testimony on the issue and “explore equitable solutions”.
“Gov. Kathy Hochul said that remote learning during the pandemic was a ‘mistake’ that especially affected working women.
Her remarks were made Friday at a Women's Equality Day celebration in Albany as she announced plans for the Labor Department to study Covid-19's impact on women.
‘We're going to peel back every dynamic and let's look at not just in the workplace, but what happened to women when the decisions were made to have all the kids go home and learn remotely. Wow. Wow. What a mistaken that was. What a mistake that was’, she said, according to a transcript by Gothamist reporter Jon Campbell who tweeted them out. ‘Women couldn't go their jobs. They lost their jobs, or they thought they're back at their jobs and one child in a classroom tests positive, the whole class goes home for a week and a half. It was chaos, nothing short of chaos, and it just seems to have not ended’.
In March 2020, as COVID-19 swept closed their doors and switched to remote learning for the rest of the school year, a jarring change for children and parents. When the 2020-21 school year began, some districts returned full time, but many had a hybrid model and large school districts retained fully remote for months.
Buffalo Public School was the last district in New York State to bring any students back into the classroom during the 2020-21 school year, holding a limited number of in person classes February 1st, 2021 for the first time since the pandemic promoted schools to shut down in March 2020”. -Maki Becker, Buffalo News
Much to the mystification of the feminist equalitarians, the primary benefit to society from employing women, particularly young women, is to defray the cost of elderly people collecting retirement payments.
The drawbacks to large numbers of young women entering the labor force include declining marriage rates, higher illegitimacy rates, lower average wages for both men and women, reduced productivity, and demographic decline.
“American men in their 30s today are worse off than their fathers' generation, a reversal from just a decade ago, when sons generally were better off than their fathers, a new study finds.
In 2004, the median income for a man in his 30s, a good predictor of his lifetime earnings, was $35,010, the study says, 12% less than for men in their 30s in 1974 their fathers' generation adjusted for inflation. A decade ago, median income for men in their 30s was $32,901, 5% higher than 30 years earlier.
The study also mentions that families with men in their 30s do have more income today than a generation ago. However, this increase is mainly due to the fact that more women are in the workplace, adding a second earner to the family”. -Emily Friedlander, Wall Street Journal
Take notice of the fact that 1974 was one year after U.S. hourly wages peaked.
It seems entirely possible that the severing of women from their traditional, and more natural role, is one of secular society’s most irreparable and self-imposed historical failures.
