Tell us about being a working mother in Alaska during the pandemic

Nationwide, women are bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic in economic terms.

Some are leaving the workforce altogether, while others may work in industries like hospitality and health care, which were highly affected by the pandemic recession. In addition, women are often caregivers for children and aging parents, and with the lack of childcare options, many mothers have borne that burden as well.

We’re looking to learn more about the experiences of Alaska’s working mothers during the pandemic.
