“Fifty years after the War on Poverty began, millions of women are still struggling to get by.” ~Maria Shriver
Maria Shriver reported in a recent article in Atlantic that:
- Women are nearly two-thirds of minimum-wage workers in the country.
- More than 70 percent of low-wage workers get no paid sick days at all.
- Forty percent of all households with children under the age of 18 include mothers who are either the sole or primary source of income.
- The median earnings of full-time female workers are still just 77 percent of the median earnings of their male counterparts.
Chris Hayes joins MSNBC’s Alex Wagner to talk about the “War on Poverty” and the state of the economy for women in America.
