October 2023 · Domestic Workers Economic Situation Report

Nov 07 2023

The most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics Jobs Report shows job growth in October. The general unemployment rate changed little compared to September and the unemployment rate for Latina women decreased slightly. NDWA Labs’ October data shows a decrease to 13% in joblessness for surveyed domestic workers. It's worth noting that the sample of surveyed domestic workers was expanded starting on September 22, and this decrease reflects a higher share of employed respondents in the expanded sample. While this is the lowest joblessness rate recorded since the pandemic began, it remains higher than the rate of 9% who reported having no jobs before COVID-19.
