SC: Not A Good State For Working Moms

PALMETTO STATE RANKS FIFTH-WORST NATIONALLY IN NEW STUDY

Be fruitful and multiply … unless you’re in South Carolina.

According to a new study released by Wallet Hub, working moms in the Palmetto State have a much tougher go of things than their counterparts in other states. In fact South Carolina is the fifth-worst state in the nation when it comes to working moms – trailing only Idaho, Wyoming, Mississippi and Louisiana.

The best state in the nation for working moms (at least according to this study)? Oregon …

The Wallet Hub survey included nine different measurements in three broad categories – work-life balance, child care, and professional opportunities. Among the measurements included? Gender-based pay gaps and parental leave policies.

What do we think of these rankings?

Well, the Wallet Hub article accompanying them gushed over U.S. President Barack Obama, the story first ran in the left-leaning rag The Atlantic and the study popped on our radar via a news release the S.C. Democratic Party.

We’re not saying the data is wrong … we’re just saying it arrived on our radar screen from a leftward orientation.

Having said that, there’s no denying things are hard for everybody in South Carolina these days …

No surprises here. Once again, SC is at the bottom of the pile.

It’s number 1 in deaths of women at the hands of a spouse, boyfriend or ex. Woot!

Is FITS this stupid? His god Obama is desperate to motivate single women (see Mary Landreau)….so they publish some gender-hate Bull$#!t to play the Dumb@$$#$ for fools…

Yet FITS is scared $#!tless to report on Trey Gowdy or Monica..

FITS is about as dumb as a stick if he thinks he is fooling anyone, but his leftwing cadre of Dumb@$$#$….

A counselor at a New Jersey women’s clinic says she filmed her own abortion to show that the procedure is “safe” and to help support other women through the process.

Yes indeed.This ought to motivate ‘single’ women! :-)
Haley is pro-life. In my opinion a vote for Tom Ervin is a vote for abortion, NO MATTER WHAT ‘closet’ Democrat, Tom Ervin espouses during his campaign to destroy the SC Republican Party.
I have only seen pictures of Ervin hiding behind his wife on FITSNEWS and my understanding is that she is PRO-ABORTION?

No one is pro-abortion. Most are pro-birth control and pro CHOICE. That does not equate to pro-abortion. Dumbasses everywhere.

“Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There’s a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh hard times come again no more.

Chorus:
Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh hard times come again no more.”
……………….Stephen Foster, 1st pub in 1854.

True then. True now.

The study should have included the white house as a group. Let’s see, big pay gap, expensive health insurance costs, committment to lie to protect the MAN at the top,..some pretty challenging job requirements. The White House likely rank below South Carolina in how female workers are treated.

you’d think this item would cause Fits to reflect on his adolescent obsession with the ‘free market’. but maybe not. 100s of 1000s of south carolinians spend their sundays in church and the rest of their week in denial.

Is it because we have the most welfare queens living off their progeny? All these stupid surveys have straight line correlations to state demographics. Its not because we don’t give single women enough free stuff.
