Thu, 16 Oct 2008 16:13:09 GMT

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:

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