It has left me feeling a little uneasy about that, especially as I learn more about inequality in our country.According to the Economic Policy Institute, there are probably many more than the recorded 2M domestic workers, 90% are women, more than half are Black, Hispanic, AAPI and they are 3x more likely to live in poverty compared to other workers. They are also explicitly excluded from labor protection laws as a concession to Southern lawmakers. Clearly, institutional changes are necessary, but in the meantime, I want to encourage you to think about reducing the inequality in your home.Today's episode is about exactly that- tangible and intangible suggestions to consider.If you have experience as an employee or an employer in this situation, would love to hear your tips as well! Link to the epi.org domestic worker chartbook https://www.epi.org/publication/domestic-workers-chartbook-a-comprehensive-look-at-the-demographics-wages-benefits-and-poverty-rates-of-the-professionals-who-care-for-our-family-members-and-clean-our-homes/To submit your letter to the show, email [email protected] support the show visit buymeacoffee.com/spenddonateSupport the show
