Child care crisis pushes US mothers out of the labor force
Read full article: Child care crisis pushes US mothers out of the labor forceResearch is increasingly pointing to a retreat of working mothers from the U.S. labor force as the pandemic leaves parents with few child care options and the added burden of navigating distance learning. In the long-term, the crisis could stall if not reverse decades of hard-fought gains by working women who are still far from achieving labor force parity with men. Overall, the drop translates into 1.3 million women exiting the labor force since February. Between February and April, labor force participation fell 3.2% among mothers with children younger than 6, and 4.3% for those with children 6 to 12. We already knew there was a large gender inequality in the labor force, and the pandemic just makes this worse, Landivar said.

Read full article: 5 musicals that should be filmed for a streaming network since Broadway is still closedConsidering Disney+ saw a 72% increase in downloads of its app over the weekend, itās safe to say that bringing musicals filmed on stage to a mass audience is a pretty good idea. Some will argue that theater is meant to be consumed live, but with so much uncertainty about when Broadway will return, itās not a bad idea to start filming more Broadway musicals and plays for streaming networks.

Do you plan to watch āHamilton?ā Are there any musicals youād like to see from the comfort of your home?

Read full article: Her software put men on the moonMOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - The first footsteps on the moon belonged to two men, but they may never have made it there if not for Margaret Hamilton.

The software's emergency preparedness is thought to have helped save the mission, Hamilton wrote. Hamilton never left the Earth's atmosphere, but without her groundbreaking software, it's unlikely that the American flag would've been planted on the moon in July 1969.
