College-educated women aged 25-44 show significant workforce participation growth, increasing from 64% to 73% over two decades. In contrast, non-college women's participation stagnated at 53%. Remote work has benefitted employed mothers, with a rise in full-time work for college graduates from 57% to 68%. Men without college degrees are facing declining workforce participation, contrasting the stagnation seen in their female counterparts. The lack of nationwide paid leave exacerbates these issues, with only half of college degree holders receiving paid family leave compared to 38% of non-degree holders.
"The share of college-educated women age 25-44 working full-time increased to 73%, from 64%, over the past two decades, highlighting significant progress for this group."
"Mothers with college degrees are driving these advances, with full-time work rising to 68% in 2024 from 57% in 2004, while non-college moms have seen no change."
