Since female full-time workers made only 78 cents for every dollar earned by men, why are so many women out of work? Seems that employers would keep women and fire the men first...
* many women who worked did so part time; when full time shifted from 39 hours to 29 and more employers limit it to 18 hours a week with erratic schedules and you can’t fit childcare around it, it is easier to just quit
* the raises in the minimum wage drive up the cost of childcare, which was already going up faster than inflation because of regulations nearly outlawing in home childcare by a retired lady or stay at home mom watching 2 more kids
* illegal immigrants can work and have mom stay at home with the kids, collecting EITC and SNAP and WIC for the kids born here legally without paying taxes; and they have the social custom of having mom stay home with the kids
