Project: COVID-19 Impact on Women in the Workforce
Client: Chicago Mayor’s Women’s Advisory Council

Women, and even more so women of color, were disproportionately negatively impacted in the workforce by the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to have an equitable recovery, policymakers, workforce development practitioners, and employers need to address the systemic inequities in our labor market. The significant resources available through the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) offer an opportunity to center women in the region’s economic and workforce development recovery strategies. Civic Consulting Alliance provided project management support to the working group including Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot’s Women’s Advisory Council (WAC), World Business Chicago, and Women Employed.

The full report, “Creating a More Equitable Recovery: Addressing the Economic Barriers COVID-19 Exacerbated for Women in Chicago,” will help government and private sector decision-makers center women in their recovery plans.
