We would like to wish each of you a happy Labor Day. This year has been challenging in unprecedented ways, so we hope that you all have been able to relax over this weekend. We are incredibly thankful for all of the workers of our nation. Thank you for all that you do!⁠

This Labor's Day, we wanted to share some interesting articles and data about women in the workforce:

- "[Women are now the majority of the U.S. workforce — but working women still face serious challenges](https://time.com/5766787/women-workforce/).”

- "[Mothers are increasingly running for office. Will COVID-19 sideline their momentum?](https://19thnews.org/2020/08/mothers-are-increasingly-running-for-office-will-covid-19-sideline-their-momentum/)"

- "[Women in the workforce – United States: Quick Take](https://www.catalyst.org/research/women-in-the-workforce-united-states/#:~:text=Women%20Are%20Nearly%20Half%20the,of%20the%20total%20labor%20force.&text=57.1%25%20of%20women%20participate%20in,compared%20to%2069.1%25%20of%20men.)”
