American Rescue Plan Act funding made a difference for women with children under 6 - better rebound and more women in the workforce in places with with ARPA funding. Suggested follow up Qs - who are these women? Did the $$ improve equity? #cceeprc @OPRE_ACF

To build a robust child care system that can support our growing workforce - especially BIPOC and female employees - is going to take a lot of social and financial investment. Thank you @POTUS @VP @WhiteHouse for continuing the equitable child care work! https://t.co/CLJ0ESZa3x

"Immigrant families may fear enrolling their children in safety net programs, even when children may be eligible, because of immigration-related concerns." Education and support from trusted sources can help families gain access to programs their children need.

This on top of the finding that, generally, parents who work non-standard schedules make less $$ than parents who work standard schedules. https://t.co/MSREP89ZPK

This secondary data analysis I conducted with #GSSdata surfaced striking income disparities between White and Hispanic/Black parents. White parents working non-standard schedules make more $$ than Hispanic/Black parents irrespective of work schedule. #NORCSparkathon @NORCNews

In the #NORCSparkathon, NORC researchers looked at racial and ethnic differences in family income for parents working nonstandard and standard schedules. #GSSdata was used to control for education and compare to the cost of raising children in 2022. @_rhberger
