I received and email today from Momsrising.org that has a quote I'd like to share with you.

"Moms in this country are way undervalued - Mothers make 73 cents to every dollar an equally qualified man makes at the same job - Single mothers make only about 60 cents to a man's dollar - Those two facts, it should be noted, really suck - especially because men aren't making much these days either - Over a lifetime mothers are paid anywhere from $400,000 to $2 million less than men doing the same work due to gender wage disparity. That's a ridiculous "Mommy Tax." A full quarter of US families with children less than 6 years old live in poverty - Well duh, all these other statistics would lead to this likely outcome - Motherhood is one of the hardest full-time jobs that does not come with Social Security or health benefits - It does however come with a lot of labor as well as love."
