Weekly News Report for May 30, 2014

News

female brain drainSome of the articles of interest to working mothers that we’ve seen around the web recently…

  • The Wall Street Journal’s Metropolis blog checks out a new study that looked at the salaries of fathers as compared to other groups — the resulting report is tellingly entitled “The ‘Mommy Tax’ and the ‘Daddy Bonus’.”
  • Ideastream talks to several congresswomen who are mothers who’ve balanced caring for new babies and fulfilling their legislative duties.
  • The Boston Globe talks about a growing trend of mothers re-entering the workforce through part-time consulting or special internship programs with companies who hope to retain them as employees. Prime quote: “So many women have left corporate America to raise a family that the female brain drain can no longer be ignored.”
  • The Chicago Tribune talks to one working mother — head of marketing for her family’s winery — who attended the National Restaurant Association trade show with her newborn baby and was asked to leave because the minimum age for attendees was 16. She had been wearing the sleeping baby in a wrap at the time.

Make sure to check out this week’s news update over at Corporette!

And speaking of newborn babies, here’s some Kat news: her son Harrison Grant Griffin finally arrived over Memorial Day weekend, surprising everyone when he came into the world weighing 10 lbs 1.2 oz. Welcome to the world, Harry!

    Is anyone else confused by this site? I like corperette.com and since I just got pregnant for the first time I was hoping to use this website to help me. It seems the home page never gets updated with topics.

      It’s your site and you can run it how you want to, obviously, but I hate newsletters and refuse to sign up for them. I like being able to click over to the site when I have a few minutes to kill. I do not like having stuff cluttering up my inbox; I would inevitably make a rule to filter it to a separate folder, where I would never remember to look at it again.

      Plus, I was excited about this site mostly for the potential comments. Kat and/or guest posters have good jumping-off points for discussions, but they’re just one voice on a topic where there are at least 20 “right” answers. I hope the reassessing includes discussion of putting content on the website.
