Tell Your Legislator About Being a Working Parent!

    Posted March 25th, 2009 by

    Our trusted public figures are busy telling us about the state of the economy, how soon it will be better, and how to deal with it. We’ve got television experts on the case daily to help all of us working women be financially savvy during these stressful times. The question is: can these experts relate to the economic situation of the masses? Let’s see what they make…

    · Political Scientists $90,050
    · Economists $86,700
    · Financial Analysts $81,700
    · Statisticians $72,150
    · Broadcast News Analysts $70,370

    These are average annual salaries, but they are probably on the low side of estimates if you ask me. Maybe you should quit your day job and pursue one of these careers! Ok, that’s an exaggeration. But, at least take advantage of job seeker tools. Find out how much YOUR expertise is worth in today’s market and make sure you’re getting equitable pay.

    Unfortunately, African-American women are disproportionately affected by the wage gap (NPR story below), for a variety of reasons ranging from social factors influencing opportunities, as well as employer practices. 101 Facts on Working Women (link below) has more interesting info concerning African-American women in the labor force as well.
