School can be educational
A few things I learned in class today:
- the majority of people on welfare are poor white women with children, not black women as I had previously assumed, +1 to racial stereotypes that led me to believe this.
- of all minimum wage workers, a majority, 3/5ths, are women.
- many young women (well, those in my class) do not get that women consistently earn less than men - across the board.
