  The Discussion About Women and Poverty in the United States

  

  My recent show on Working Toward Poverty: Underemployment & Working Mothers was part of Blog Action Day 2008.
  
  I'm grateful to Dr. Mary Gatta, Senior Advisor of Workforce Policy and Research at the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers, for being my guest to discuss the important topic of poverty as it relates to women.
  
  Did you know that:
  

  1. Women are far more likely to be impoverished than men?
  2. More than one million women are working at or below federal minimum wage?
  3. That the notion that those in poverty are too lazy to work is a complete myth?

  Listen to the show on women and poverty and discover practical tips for becoming part of the solution when it comes to women and poverty.

  Working Toward Poverty: Underemployment & Working Mothers

  As part of Blog Action Day 2008 Poverty we'll discuss the impact of poverty on working mothers within our own communities with Dr. Mary Gatta, Senior Advisor of Workforce Policy and Research at the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University. Many of our citizens work full-time jobs that barely keep their families fed. We'll discuss how underemployment effects women in our community; what we can do to help; and what they can do to begin improving their own situations.
