The article claimed this was negligible.

And stats concerning women in the workforce definitely paint a different picture.

So employers need to pay more and offer remote work or pay relocation expenses.

There's also a dearth of $1000 new automobiles on the market but no one's suggesting forcing automakers to offer them. Why do we expect labour to bend to the will of companies? They need to offer competitive compensation.
