As a historic International Women\u2019s Month comes to a close – one that marks a year since COVID-19 was declared an international pandemic – and we look ahead to Financial Literacy Month next week, Ladder releases its new survey on American Women and Insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The events of the past year have impacted each and every one of us, but women perhaps most of all as an unprecedented number disappeared from the workforce, resulting in what many have dubbed a \u201cshe-cession.\u201d According to the National Women’s Law Center<\/a>, since the pandemic started, women have lost more than 5.4 million jobs, with many also disproportionately losing the long-term financial security that comes in the form of benefits like access to a retirement plan and employer-sponsored life insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the events of the past year, however, or perhaps due to them, 38% of women reported spending <\/strong>more<\/em><\/strong> time than usual thinking about long-term financial security since the start of the pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, while findings indicate that American women have a renewed focus on long-term financial security, there is still work to be done to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
