Axios - For decades, a far higher share of men worked than women. Now that gender gap is the narrowest it's ever been, according to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Women's return to work from the pandemic has been faster than men's. A big part of this is the rise of remote and flexible work, which has enabled a record number of women with young children to enter or remain in the workforce. The gender pay gap also is the narrowest on record. COVID-era funding for child care runs out this month. Many predict this could put some daycares out of business or force them to raise fees. That could push some parents out of the workforce.
