If women/minorities earn less, why are they being disproportionately affected by layoffs?

In bad times wouldn't you want to lay off the most expensive? Or is it possible that data shows that collectively production per dollar spent is less?
What other reason would there be besides cost/benefit or racism/sexism?

women and minorities are in greater danger of losing their jobs in troubled times not only because they work in high-layoff-risk industries but also because most companies reflexively put them at the top of their layoff lists.

Most servers in restaurants are female. And those businesses were forced to shut down.

The obvious answer is white patriarchy and racism.

I agree with your assessment, but links to Harvard Business Review and Reuters? Nothing but propaganda websites.

Because they make more money than men do in the same server industry. I guess that kind of takes some of the wind out of the "Women are paid less than men" argument to a small extent. But I think the data shows that women choose jobs or longevity of work day for various reasons

No.
You layoff repetitive positions or positions that can be taken over by productive staff.
The last time we went through layoffs, admin staff (mostly women), were the first to go simply because everyone can do their job, we just don't want to most of the time.

They earn less because they are in and out of the labor force relatively more frequently, also an indication that they have less training and experience. Due to high training costs, firms are more likely to layoff those with less experience and training and hold onto workers who they have invested in their human capital.
Women might be finding it harder to get a job now because everyone's finally figured out they are all crazy.

No the hell they don't. Not in 2021, anyway.

Why would you hire men in the first place?
Save the 23%.
That's how you know it's all bullshite

Which companies? Or is this just another ‘well I bet this is happening so let’s say it as fact’ when really there’s zero way to prove such a statement?

No, the more expensive workers are most likely the more productive workers, they are also likely more able to cover the tasks of cheaper laid off workers than vice/versa.

Do those restaurants have cooks and bus boys? Let me guess "those are the minorities!"

You have to be an absolute idiot if you think managers’ criteria for laying someone off is strictly due to their gender or race.
These clowns act like we live in the 1910s

Because I exceed expectations on my annual reviews and they strive to do the bare minimum. Then they scream racism when they get cut or don't get promoted. I have personally seen this at my workplace.

Companies keep their most valuable resources during layoffs and walk the least valuable out the door.
Male/Female/Thing...it doesn’t matter. Successful companies are successful for a reason and I promise you they aren’t just “feeling” like laying off more woman then men during tough times like the woke nation thinks. Cut and dry, you’re either valuable or your not and a company is going to choose to fire their “Director of Cultural Inclusion” before their top engineers. It’s just business.

Whenever I’ve had to choose who to layoff I keep the best performers regardless of salary.
