"I challenge employers to make sure their values are human-centered, women-centered, & family-centered and that they honor the fact that people have full lives outside of work," says @kmnr98, CEO of the Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership.

Sure, bonuses are up, stock buybacks set a record in 2018, and the stock market is soaring. But most Americans haven’t had a wage increase in 40 years, and 40 percent can’t afford a $400 emergency. Which begs the question: Who is our economy really working for?

Check out my blog post in our innovative coding initiative for south and west side residents. We need the Tech industry to recognize the untapped potential in underserved communities! #chicodes #chicookworks #cityofchicago
Coding bootcamps provide immersive training for the fast-growing tech field, but remain out-of-reach for many underserved yet talented workers. Learn how our grantee @ChiCookWORKS is addressing this lack of diversity in tech, w/ @facebook @Microsoft

Today marks the # of days Latinas must work into 2019 to earn the same that white, non-Hispanic men made in 2018...making only 54 cents to every $1.00 paid to white men. This affects entire families & communities. Latinas deserve equal pay for equal work! #JEO #LatinaEqualPayDay

Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay, a stark reminder that marks the time it takes for a Latina to finally catch up to a white, non-Hispanic man’s 2018 salary. We all must work together to achieve pay equity. As Sen. Paul Wellstone said, “We all do better when we all do better.”
