March 2026 Labor Market Update: How Women Have Closed the Other Workforce Gender Gap

March 26, 2026-The gap between male and female labor force participation has hit a record low-and it's still falling.
Key points:
In the early 1990s, men held almost 7 million more jobs than women. As of early 2026, that gap had entirely closed.
In recent months, male employment has contracted while female employment has held steady, suggesting the convergence is still accelerating.

The gender gap in labor force participation has been declining uninterrupted for decades, and hit its lowest recorded level in February 2026.

Our monthly Labor Market Update examines important trends using Indeed and other labor market data. Our US Labor Market Overview chartbook provides a more comprehensive view of the US labor market. Data from our Job Postings Index -which stood 2.2% above its pre-pandemic baseline as of March 20, 2026- and the Indeed Wage Tracker (including sector-level data) are regularly updated and can be accessed on our data portal.
