There is no shortage of disciplines and industries rife with sexism . The STEM fields – science, technology, engineering and mathematics – are particularly well known for their misogynistic cultures .
But I believe , based on my personal experience, the experiences of my fellow female economists and hard data , that there's a strong case to be made that economics is the worst academic field in which to be a woman.

AP-NORC poll: People of color bear COVID-19's economic brunt
But when the coronavirus was declared a global pandemic last March, forcing hundreds of millions of people into strict lockdown, Banuelos' outlook changed. The new job fell through, the child support payments stopped because of a job loss and she became a stay-at-home mom when day cares shuttered.

"The only thing I could do was make my rent, so everything else was difficult," said Banuelos, of Orland, California.
A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that compared with white Americans, Black and Hispanic Americans are more likely to have experienced job and other income losses during the pandemic, and those who have lost income are more likely to have found themselves in deep financial holes.

17 Reasons to Let the Economic Optimism Begin - The New York Times
The century began in economic triumphalism in the United States, with a sense that business cycles had been vanquished and prosperity secured for a blindingly bright future. Instead, a mild recession was followed by a weak recovery followed by a financial crisis followed by another weak recovery followed by a pandemic-induced collapse.
Those two decades coincide almost precisely with my career as an economics writer. It is the reason, among my colleagues, I have a reputation for writing stories that run the gamut from ominous to gloomy to terrifying.
Unemployment Claims Fall, Fueling Economic Hope - The New York Times
The second year of the coronavirus pandemic is starting with rising hopes for the economic outlook — and a long way to go.
Positive signs are emerging as restrictions on businesses lift and the pace of vaccine distributions ramps up. But millions remain unemployed, and many economists are cautioning that a return to pre-pandemic conditions could take months, if not years.
That reality became all the more evident on Thursday, when the Labor Department reported that a total of 709,000 workers filed first-time claims for state unemployment benefits in the week that ended March 6. Though the figure was 47,000 lower than the week before — and touching the lowest levels of the last year — it was still extraordinarily high by historical standards.
