WSJ Your Money Briefing · Coronavirus: Why Women Have Suffered More Unemployment Than Men · 15 May 2020 podcast

Women tend to be in occupations that are really vulnerable to the pandemic. voice-verified

So they're in jobs oftentimes that require close personal contact and cannot be done very easily remotely. voice-verified

And a study by a University of Pittsburgh professor found that women account for about 77% of workers in jobs. voice-verified

these high-contact, inflexible occupations. voice-verified

So think things like, you know, food preparation jobs or health care support, personal service, a massage therapist, for instance. voice-verified

Black and Hispanic women are more likely than Asian and white women to work in these lower paying service sector jobs that are really vulnerable to the pandemic. voice-verified

About 30% of both black and Hispanic women held service sector jobs in 2018, according to the Labor Department, and that compares with about 20% of whites and Asian women. voice-verified

Beyond the regular effects of unemployment that we see in terms of it just being very hard for people, you know, psychologically, etc., there's also sort of these economic consequences. voice-verified

So labor force participation among married women increases. voice-verified

normally increases during recessions because women who were out of the labor force tend to enter the workforce to help supplement their husband or male partner's lost income. voice-verified

But that likely will not happen during this economic crisis because the hit to predominantly female jobs has been so extreme. voice-verified

You think about sort of the child care situation, the pandemic really makes things difficult for women. voice-verified

Thanks so much for having me, JR. voice-verified

WSJ Your Money Briefing · Stimulus Payments: What Happens if You Get the Wrong Amount? · 17 Apr 2020 podcast

Both laid off and furloughed people are eligible for unemployment benefits. matched

Essentially, if you're furloughed, it's a temporary layoff and it's treated the same way as a regular permanent layoff is when it comes to the unemployment benefit system. matched

In terms of how these regular weekly unemployment benefits are funded, states have what's called a trust fund, and it derives from employer taxes. matched

And states are paying out of these trust funds for workers to get unemployment benefits. matched

Right now, the federal government is providing money to states for this extra $600 per week in unemployment benefits that workers in many states are starting to receive. matched

And so the longer that this goes on, the more money that the federal government is going to have to provide for states. matched

We're unsure exactly what the cap is for that right now. matched
