Today’s #JobsReport for March shows a stagnant economy experiencing flat unemployment and slow job growth in 2026. But there is some surprising news for women. Read our full #JobsDay analysis here: nationalpartnership.org/women-back-i...

"Countries heavily reliant on US aid see a 10.5% increase in maternal mortality following a switch from a Democratic to a Republican administration—about 44.7 additional deaths per 100 000 live births." gh.bmj.com/content/11/3...

This is why I’m a proud Irish American!

Elections matter! Virginia passed paid leave twice before and Youngkin vetoed it twice. Now it has a governor who will sign this and deliver real change for Virginians

The U.S. still doesn't have a national #PaidLeave guarantee. But one in three workers is covered by a state paid leave program. This is a generational shift in policy – and it's still gaining momentum. 19thnews.org/2026/03/paid...

1/3 of U.S. workers now have access to paid leave—the highest share ever. @chabeli.bsky.social reports that with no federal guarantee, millions are still left out. 14 state laws now cover an estimated 46 million people, & the fight to expand paid leave is far from over.

Today’s win in Virginia makes it the first state in the South to pass paid leave. It also brings means 50 million people will be covered by state paid leave programs.

With today’s passage of #paidleave in Virginia, more than 50 million private sector workers in the U.S. will now have paid leave through their state program. Huge win!

If American women were paid for all their caregiving labor, it would be worth $683 billion, according to an analysis from the National Partnership for Women & Families (NPWF). https://bit.ly/4s8ev5P

Today’s #JobsDay reveals a dramatically slowing economy: we lost 92,000 jobs in February and unemployment rates for Black and Latina women got worse.

Nearly a third of the nation’s private sector workers are covered by paid leave programs,according to a new analysis released this week. https://stateline.org/2026/03/05/state-mandated-paid-leave-programs-now-cover-millions-of-american-workers/

🚨New report out by @npwf.bsky.social: nationalpartnership.org/report/state...

DYK state #paidleave programs now cover one-third of private-sector workers?

There’s still no federal paid leave policy in the United States, but 14 laws in 13 states and DC now extend coverage to an estimated 46 million people — a third of American workers. 19thnews.org/2026/03/paid...

🧵 Ahead of the SOTU, the National Partnership has been tracking the Trump admin’s attacks on women and measuring the impact nationalpartnership.org/one-year-in-...

As my colleagues @kfgrobbins.bsky.social and Areeba wrote “Women deserve real choices – instead of accepting a status quo that requires impossible compromise, we must build an economy that allows all women to pursue fulfilling, secure lives” nationalpartnership.org/report/share...

I’m reading new research from @npwf.bsky.social finding that after years of progress, Black women’s union gains declined under Trump in 2025 nationalpartnership.org/after-years-...

But it was really important to control those student protesters in 2024…🙃

Could not be more proud of Michael and his co-authors for this hugely important contribution. Their careful, meticulous work estimates a higher death toll in Gaza than previously reported.

New @npwf.bsky.social analysis of today's union data shows that after years of progress, Black women’s union gains declined in 2025 under Trump #1u #unionstrong nationalpartnership.org/after-years-...

Today's jobs data, with continued warning signs for Black women, has me and @kfgrobbins.bsky.social worried. Check out our analysis: nationalpartnership.org/weak-job-mar...

Black women started 2025 with an unemployment rate of 5.4 percent. They ended it at 7.3 percent — the highest rate in four years. Black women’s unemployment is now equivalent to White women’s rate during the bleakest moments of the Great Recession. 19thnews.org/2026/01/blac...

The story for unemployment rates is no better. No group of women saw improvements in their annual average unemployment rate in 2025, compared with 2024. (6/8)

We find that while no groups of women workers are thriving in today’s economy with Trump’s economy especially failing Black, AIAN and NHPI women. (3/8)

The point of DOGE

Great thread.

One group flying under the radar in today’s jobs day chatter? Indigenous women. Indigenous women, including American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) & Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander women (NHPI), are not part of the monthly #JobsData release due to a lack of investment. #JobsDay (1/8)

Charts! Starting with the unemployment rate, which rose to 4.6 percent, its highest level in more than four years.

Such an important new piece from the Arab Barometer team on want #Syrians want from their first-EVER survey of the country. There is so much hope, but it's a long road ahead.

More women work as registered nurses than work in any other occupation in this country: nationalpartnership.org/wp-content/u.... This designation is a slap in the face not only to nurses -- who are absolutely professionals -- but to all women, whose work is so often undervalued.

A vibrant vision for America’s economy must put public investments for care at the center. Read @tcfdotorg.bsky.social and @caringacross.org’s new report to learn more about how investing in care can secure a brighter future for families everywhere go.tcf.org/TheCareImperative

Important piece from @emilypeck.bsky.social on today's labor market trends: www.axios.com/2025/11/20/w... As more men juggle working & caregiving, it underscores the urgency of policies like affordable child care & paid leave to help everyone meet their responsibilities on the job and at home.

Social Security backed off a change to the way disability insurance works — a huge relief to advocates and the many people who rely on it — after a raft of criticism. They don't call Social Security the third-rail of politics for no reason.. www.axios.com/2025/11/20/s...

Today the BLS finally released the employment data collected in September. Delayed by the government shutdown, these data are the last snapshot of the economy before the costly shutdown shuttered Head Start centers, reduced food assistance and more. #NumbersDay 1/9

New analysis out today on the impact of Trump's policies on the veteran women's workforce: nationalpartnership.org/womenveteranworkforce. Some key findings:

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Every month for the last 77 years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has estimated Americans' unemployment rate This streak dies tomorrow Govt staff could not survey Americans about whether they're working or looking for work in Oct, the 1st time in 934 months This blind spot will remain forever

We are into the 6th week of the longest government #shutdown in history. If this stretches to the end of November, the CBO estimates it will cost the economy $14B. Lemme tell you what else we could have for $14B: nationalpartnership.org/six-things-w...

The degree of callousness and cruelty to be able to leave a toddler in a car is frightening.

$14 billion is more than what we spend in a year on Head Start, which is at risk of shutting down because of the shutdown. Make it make sense.

Good day to read this @chabeli.bsky.social piece on how women of color are impacted when there is no new jobs report. #numbersday

Delaying the jobs report would be bad for everyone -- but especially Black women, who are bearing the brunt of Trump's disastrous economic agenda: 19thnews.org/2025/08/susp...

Our analysis shows that threats to fire federal workers are threats against disabled workers, workers in the South, and veterans -- especially women veterans: nationalpartnership.org/report/trump....

One untold story of this week's wage gap data? The data pre-date the Trump administration’s policies that especially harm Black women. “The[se]...policies have frankly poured fuel on the fire, which means...Black women are in an even more challenging position this year” www.cnbc.com/2025/09/11/f...

“The wage gap is nearly $15,000 – more than a year of child care. Unfortunately, the current administration’s economic policies are contributing to the country’s pay gap, driving up costs while torpedoing job growth." @kfgrobbins.bsky.social
