A little empathy for unemployed women,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
One of the few things President Obama and Congress have been in a position to agree on is extension of advantages for the nation's unemployed. Bipartisan agreements in Washington and in states across the nation suggest agreement that people are hurting and tasks are scarce, and that we have to step-up with extra help before tide turns.
That is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unless you operate in the low-wage, high-turnover, female-dominated sales and service sectors of our economy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where access to unemployment insurance is much less frequent. It's within these sectors that almost half of Minnesota's women work.
When they lose hours or lose jobs altogether due to economic downturns, many women who operate in these sectors (often mothers with children) must use the Minnesota Family Investment Program. 1 / 2 of MFIP applicants were employed in female-dominated,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], low-wage industries in the quarter before they considered the state for help.
Most of these jobs -- hotel and restaurant work,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], temp jobs, and personal/social care services -- generally don't provide leave of any sort. They've erratic schedules and unpredictable hours. Workers are not eligible for unemployment insurance if they are forced to quit because, for instance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they cannot accommodate an abrupt shift change as a result of conflict along with other part-time jobs or simply because they can't secure daycare during their new working hours.
During this economic crisis, more than two-thirds of these turning to MFIP are women trying to work and look after children, while two-thirds of those getting help from unemployment insurance are men. Those (mostly men) seeking help through unemployment insurance are rightly considered deserving victims of the bad economy.
But somehow those seeking the only help at hand in the face of a poor economy through MFIP (again, mostly women with children) are painted as freeloading parasites and are subjected to stigma and intrusive, humiliating hurdles.
Those who have spent a day cleaning houses or looking after other's children for $9 an hour (yes, that's the median hourly wage for child-care workers in Minnesota) recognizes that such jobs are no less demanding and in some cases believe it or not important than other jobs are towards the functioning of our society.
As someone sitting in an office typing this commentary but who has experienced those shoes, I know that lots of workers toil far tougher for a smaller amount money. And work completed primarily by women is routinely undervalued and insecure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even if risks, skills and training requirements are comparable and even when the women are the primary or only earners in their families.
Simultaneously that we are extending benefits via unemployment insurance to those who have been the victims of our lackluster recovery, Minnesota legislators are considering cutting assistance provided under MFIP. For instance, under HF 2080/SF1833, assistance could be dropped for a group of three transitioning off MFIP once the applicant found a job earning $9 an hour or so,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], rather than the current $10.55 per hour. With full benefits, this same family survives on just $532 per month, a sum that has not changed in almost 30 years.
When Barbara Ehrenreich put herself within the shoes of her subjects on her compelling book "Nickel and Dimed," about moving into the low-wage-work world, Minnesota was the only place she couldn't make a go of it.
Based on the Minnesota Housing Partnership, Minnesota's rental housing affordability is ranked worst in the Midwest. We now have the third-highest accredited child-care costs in the country. The average single mother in Minnesota would need to spend 57 percent of her income to afford high-quality day care for her infant.
Compared to the proposed $9 per hour cutoff for help (around $18,000 annually for full-time work) or perhaps the current $10.55 per hour, Wider Opportunities for ladies estimates the bare-bones living costs for just one adult and one infant is $46,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],368 per year.
The proposals under consideration are targeted at fixing women instead of fixing the economy. These "reform" efforts put the blame for any lousy employment market on mothers struggling to drag it all together and discover and keep work in a historically bad economy, one out of which even recent college graduates are competing for retail jobs.
They're believe it or not worthy of our compassion and assistance than are those lucky enough to qualify for unemployment insurance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
