Best and Worst States for Working Moms in 2017
A new report from WalletHub analyzes the best and worst states for working mothers by comparing the 50 states and the District of Columbia across three factors: 1) Child Care, 2) Professional Opportunities and 3) Work-Life Balance. Using 13 metrics-ranging from gender wage gap to parental leave policies-the data website evaluated the three factors to determine the best state for working mothers.
Workplaces that allow working mothers to capitalize on their opportunities are essential. With their presence-women comprise almost half of all U.S. workers, and over 70 percent of mothers with children younger than 18 are working-the American labor force cannot afford to miss out on the contributions of this demographic.
