    🚨Thrilled to share my latest pub (a very special one) about the awful & widespread exclusion of domestic workers from labor rights. I argue that ending these exclusions demands a new vision of collectivized reproductive work. Free access here👇

    Excited to share one of our brilliant Penn PhD students, Ashleigh Cartwright, has published "A Theory of Racialized Cultural Capital." It brings together the sociologies of culture & race to reconceptualize cultural capital as fundamentally racialized.

    Child care providers are exhausted and demoralized. Their relationships with parents are strained because the government has pit their needs against each other by failing to act. It's time for elected officials to put their money where their mouth is.

    Someone will correlate this with future earnings one day and conclude that high earnings ambitions make people earn more later in life. Everyone at the conference will nod

    I asked Wharton students what they thought the average American worker makes per year and 25% of them thought it was over six figures. One of them thought it was $800k. Really not sure what to make of this (The real number is $45k)

    . & : “stop blaming teachers & unions & return to Biden’s original plan to drive down community transmission & safely reopen schools. Only when we stem the tide of infections & flatten the curve will schools be able to function.”

    Very proud of DC and this work! It is time early educators are better compensated for their incredibly valuable work.

    After years of talking about it, D.C. could finally start moving to give child care workers a pay raise. A city task force is recommending using a $50 million pot of money to give workers one-time payments of up to $14k this year, with more to come:

    Wow. One sign of omicron's workforce effects: In Household Pulse Survey from Dec 1-13, ~3 million people said they were not working because "I was caring for someone or sick myself with coronavirus symptoms." When same question asked Dec. 29-Jan 10, *8.8 million* people said this

    In this piece, we argue that blaming teachers & unions for schools delaying reopening or going remote is misguided. Schools can’t stay open bc of uncontrolled spread of COVID. We call on federal leaders to do better.

    The 6th (and for now, final) Child Tax Credit payment lifted 3.7 million children from poverty in December, we estimate. The CTC cut the monthly child pov rate by 30% (5 pp). Given the end of monthly payments, we expect a large increase in poverty in Jan.
