[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One reason I think income inequality is worse today is because of caregiving professions like nursing, teaching, and childcare. These are all professions in great need due to our aging population, households needing 2 full time parents, and more people attending college. Yet, the pay for these professions has not kept up with other sectors. Tons of articles explaining why the cost of things like college and childcare have gone up despite wages for those workers still being low compared to the level of education required. [/quote] But in the meantime, OP thinks that women working is an even tradeoff for the cost of childcare. Even at a 50k salary, it wasn't worth the cost of childcare for me to stay home, it was not better to quit or an even exchange even at a 50k salary. We had to space our kids out by 5 years just to afford childcare because we would have bankrupt ourselves to have two in daycare simultaneously [/quote]
