"Ask a Working Woman" Survey

UHPA Director Ruth Horie (UHM-Hamilton Library) sent us this survey from the AAUW. We're passing it on to all those working women who read our News so their opinions can be added.

What do you do if you have to take time off work to care for a sick child or parent? Does having children put you on the mommy track?

Unequal pay. Family and medical leave. Spiraling health care costs. Juggling family and children plus a full-time career.

Hardworking Americans face these issues every day. But all too often, women especially don't have the resources or support to help meet these challenges.

That's why AAUW has joined with Working America, the community affiliate of the AFL-CIO, to conduct a nationwide survey of what it's like to be a working woman. If you're a working woman, that means YOU. And if you're not a working woman, forward this email to your sister, your mother, your coworkers, and your friends to make sure their voice is heard.

The results from this survey have never been more important. Women's rights and labor organizations will use the results from this survey to advocate for women across the country over the next two years. Your voice matters. We want to hear from you (or the women in your life).

Your opinion matters! Please take a moment to complete the "Ask A Working Woman" survey and share your thoughts and experiences:
