Description:


How new parents in low-wage jobs juggle the demands of work and childcare, and the easy ways employers can helpLow-wage workers make up the largest group of employed parents in the United States, yet scant attention has been given to their experiences as new mothers and fathers. Work Matters brings the unique stories of these diverse individuals to light. Drawing on years of research and more than fifteen hundred family interviews, Maureen Perry-Jenkins describes how new parents cope with the demands of infant care while holding down low-wage, full-time jobs, and she considers how managing all of these responsibilities has long-term implications for child development. She examines why some parents and children thrive while others struggle, demonstrates how specific job conditions impact parental engagement and child well-being, and discusses common-sense and affordable ways that employers can provide support.In the United States, federal parental leave policy is unfunded. As a result, many new parents, particularly hourly workers, return to their jobs just weeks after the birth because they cannot afford not to. Not surprisingly, workplace policies that offer parents flexibility and leave time are crucial. But Perry-Jenkins shows that the time parents spend at work also matters. Their day-to-day experiences on the job, such as relationships with supervisors and coworkers, job autonomy, and time pressures, have long-term consequences for parents’ mental health, the quality of their parenting, and, ultimately, the health of their children.An overdue look at an important segment of the p

Did its job
Got me back onto the water. The mounting holes distances from center to center are less than original equipment. But in a pinch they will do the job.

Heavy-Duty 4 AWG Cable With Flexible Insulation
Size: 10ft, Color: 4awg
I am satisfied with this 4 AWG cable. The insulation coating is soft, and the cable itself is very pliable, making it easy to bend and route into the configuration needed for installation. Despite the flexibility, it still feels like a heavy-duty cable designed to handle demanding applications. I am using this cable to provide the necessary amperage to start the generator on my trailer, and it performs as expected. I also like that the wire gauge and cable properties are clearly printed along the side of the insulation, making identification easy during installation or future maintenance. The cable arrived in good condition with no obvious odor from the insulation or packaging. Overall, this appears to be a quality heavy-duty cable that is flexible, easy to work with, and suitable for high-current applications.

True copper battery cables that are high quality
Size: 10ft, Color: 4awg
I love having heavy duty cable on hand for my cars. It's so nice to be able to make your own starter and alternator cables when restoring cars. These cables are 100% copper, not CCA (copper clad aluminum) like many others are. Copper is far superior for conductivity and handling higher loads. The rubber on the cable is thick and yet very flexible..it's clearly marked and seems very durable. I like to use a hydraulic crimping tool and then add marine grade heat shrink tubing with the adhesive inside of it to keep it as weatherproof as possible.
