As of January, more than 200,000 Canadian women who lost their jobs during the pandemic had slipped into the ranks of the long-term unemployed. With the pandemic, employment among women in Canada who earned less than $800 a week has fallen almost 30%. For men in the same wage brackets, the drop is 24%.
