This means making sure that people are paid fairly and protected from discrimination and harassment. It means passing laws to support care responsibilities, like paid leave, so workers don’t have to choose between a paycheck and their loved ones.

Rather than building a system that works for the ultra wealthy at the expense of workers – especially working women – policymakers should create an economy that works for everyone.

Kate Gallagher Robbins @kfgrobbins.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That’s because women know this economy – which exploits working people to benefit the powerful – is being driven by the Trump administration’s policies which are keeping wages low and allowing discrimination and harassment to flourish.

So it’s no surprise that women sharply disapprove of how the Trump administration is handling the economy. Women’s rating of the government’s economic policies has once again bottomed out at a nearly 50-year low.

Line graph entitled "Women's ratings of Trump's economic policies are historically low" showing women's ratings from January 2024 through August 2026 of the question, "As to the economic policy of the government - I mean steps taken to fight inflation or unemployment - would you say the government is doing a good job, only fair, or a poor job?" The line shows that in 2024 women's ratings hovered between roughly 75 to 90. Beginning after January 2025 when President Trump took office, women's ratings plunged steeply and have been at or below 51 points since March 2025.

Women’s job gains since January 2025 have also been meager: they have added fewer than 36,000 jobs/month. And the one bright spot for women’s jobs–the health care sector–has a bleak future. Trump’s cuts are projected to cost as many as 1.65m jobs by 2029 – primarily driven by Medicaid cuts.

Kate Gallagher Robbins @kfgrobbins.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Today’s data mean that close to two years into the second Trump Administration, a smaller share of women are working than in January 2025.

Bar chart titled "Smaller shares of women are working under Trump" Bar chart showing the percentage point change in the employment-to-population ratio for women ages 20 and older between January 2025 and September 2026 for women overall (-0.9 ppt), white women (-1.1 ppt) and Black women (-1.4 ppt).

But pulling back the curtain reveals things are even worse for Black women. Their unemployment rate jumped dramatically to 6.8% in September, driven by more Black women joining the labor market but not being able to find work.

Kate Gallagher Robbins @kfgrobbins.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Today’s #JobsDay data show another dismal month on the job market with just 29,000 new jobs added in September and a flat unemployment rate.

New BLS data out today shows that administrative support jobs are projected to decline the fastest over the next decade, due in part to AI. These jobs are overwhelmingly held by women: nationalpartnership.org/report/ai-em....

We must advance policies that ensure that workers are paid fairly and protected from discrimination so that they and their families can thrive. These policies particularly matter for women of color, who face bigger barriers and systemic racism.

Given how the administration prioritizes corporations and profits over workers and families, it’s no wonder that women’s assessment of their economic policies remains near an all-time low: nationalpartnership.org/women-hate-i...

Across all groups of women, the share who are working has fallen since the start of the year – and the declines have been the steepest for Black women and Latinas.

The share of women who are working is at its lowest level since late 2021, a sign that the job market is increasingly hostile to women.

Women accounted for all the job losses in July. And while their unemployment rate was flat, the share of women in the labor force – either working or looking for work – continues to drop.

The July jobs data reveal a deeply distressed economy that shed 23,000 jobs last month, driven by steep losses to hospitality jobs and local public schools. #NumbersDay

Rather than going backwards, we need an economy designed for all workers, including women. This means ensuring people are fairly paid at work, are protected from discrimination and harassment, have paid leave and paid sick days, and more.

Kate Gallagher Robbins @kfgrobbins.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Women’s progress has been driven by creating an economy that works for women instead of the wealthy few. These changes not only support women, but the country overall.

And this month, just like every single month for as long as we’ve collected this data, Black women’s unemployment rate is higher than white women’s.

This is not to say women have been stagnant. Over the last 80 years the share of women in the labor force has boomed, propelled by policy victories that have created opportunities for women. Today, women hold half of the jobs in the economy.

Line graph titled "Women's labor force participation is a policy choice," showing labor force participation rate for women 20 and older from 1948 until 2026 that shows growth throughout the second half of the 20th century from roughly 30 percent to just over 60 percent but a slight decline since the beginning of the 21st century. The figure identifies key policy interventions. Source: National Partnership analysis of Current Population Survey.

The economy only gained 57,000 jobs last month and men actually lost 44,000 jobs. Yet despite women’s gains, the share of women who are working is at its lowest point in more than four years.

These policies are especially important for women of color, who also face larger pay gaps and systemic racism. Policymakers should act now, before circumstances get even worse.
