The first sentence of Stephanie Land's “Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive” reads “my daughter learned to walk in a homeless shelter.” That life of struggle transformed when Land wrote Maid, which inspired a Netflix original series, but with the success came a new Labyrinth - one of PTSD, imposter syndrome, and misunderstanding.

I had the honor of chatting with the phenomenal Stephanie Land, an author and activist whose voice resonates deeply with so many of us. Stephanie's work sheds light on the crucial issues of social and economic justice, all while sharing her powerful journey of parenting under the harsh reality of poverty. You might know Stephanie from her debut book, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive. This raw, unfiltered look at her struggles became a #2 New York Times bestseller and captivated millions as a hit Netflix series.  The Netflix adaptation of Maid wasn't just popular; it was transformative. Reaching 67 million households in its first four weeks, it became Netflix's fourth most-watched show of 2021. The series' impact was so profound that it led to a record number of calls to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, showcasing the real-world change that powerful storytelling can spark. With over 60 million hours of viewing in the first half of 2023 alone, Maid continues to inspire and resonate across platforms like TikTok. But Stephanie's journey didn't stop there. Her second book, Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education, debuted in November 2023 as Good Morning America's Book of the Month and was hailed as one of the best books of the year by Amazon. It even garnered a nomination for the Reading the West award in Biography/Memoir. Publishers Weekly gave it a starred review, calling it “eye-opening and heartrending.” Class takes us through Stephanie's senior year in college and her daughter's first year of kindergarten, highlighting the challenges they faced and the socioeconomic barriers they overcame together. Beyond her books and speaking engagements, Stephanie is an arts and entertainment ambassador for the National Domestic Workers Alliance, championing the rights and recognition of over 2.2 million essential workers in the US. Her advocacy ensures that nannies, housecleaners, and home care workers receive the respect and rights they so richly deserve. Our conversation was filled with raw honesty, heartfelt moments, and a profound understanding of the struggles many face. Stephanie's story is not just one of survival but of relentless hope and unyielding strength. Tune in to this episode to hear Stephanie's inspiring journey firsthand.

More than half of American children spend time in at least one weekly non-parental care arrangement, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. More than 60% of those kids attend a daycare center, preschool or prekindergarten program. New research shows that in Louisiana, nearly one-third of early care and education workers are, at any given time, considering quitting their jobs. The finding comes from a survey by the Louisiana Policy Institute for Children (LPIC). Dr. Candace Weber, LPIC partnership director, joins the show to discuss the implications of low-pay and burnout. You might have heard of PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” compounds that are in our water, soil and even our food. They're linked to many health issues including cancer.The federal government is finally “cracking down” on PFAS The Coastal Desk's Eva Tesfaye explains what that means for Louisiana's water and what residents should know. Today is Veterans Day at the Louisiana State Capitol. It's a chance for service members to interact with state officials and legislators. An honor medal ceremony is also planned. It's all ahead of a women veterans symposium which will take place at the end of this month.To talk more about veterans' accomplishments, specifically female vets, we're joined by retired Air Force Colonel Charlton Meginley, the secretary of the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs.___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

Wildfire fighters say working conditions threaten the safety of crew and the public in that province. As climate change leads to more intense forest fires, the people on the front lines say they're losing team members to other employers and something needs to change.

It's Thursday, which means it's time for the week in politics. Stephanie Grace, the Times Picayune/The Advocate's editorial director and columnist, talks about House Speaker Mike Johnson's decision to back more military aid to Ukraine. That decision rattled several House Republicans this week. They've since called for his removal.  Johnson also visited Columbia University in New York City this week to meet with Jewish students and leaders as anti-war protests there continue — and spread to other U.S. college campuses.  State leaders decided again this year not to give teachers a permanent pay raise, opting for a one-time stipend instead. Many agree that educators are underpaid, but they point to Louisiana's looming deficit as a reason to delay. As costs rise and wages stagnate, Aubri Juhasz, WWNO/WRKF education reporter, spoke with teachers who are struggling to stay in the profession. When disasters like hurricanes, floods and wildfires strike, an army of recovery workers usually descend on the affected area. They remove the debris, and typically move from one disaster to the next.  Some workers are lured by higher than minimum wage pay, overtime and provided transportation. But an investigation by Futuro Investigates, The Center for Public Integrity, and Columbia Journalism Investigations found workers, who are largely Latino, face significant health risks. Maria Ines Zamudio, with the Center for Public Integrity, is lead reporter on the podcast, Toxic Labor, from Latino USA, and joins the show. _____ Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich.

#260: Tens of thousands of Vietnamese immigrants rely on nail salons as an economic powerhouse: a an attractive option that lets them work hard and express their creativity, all without needing to learn English. But worker pay can sometimes dip below minimum wage, depending on individual manicurists' client lists. This wouldn't be a legal problem if the manicurists were classified as "Gig Workers," and until recently that's exactly what most salons did. But advocates for salon workers – and even industry advisors representing employers – say that manicurists do not meet the criteria to be classified that way. Instead they should be hourly employees, and receive benefits like sick pay, vacation days, and at least a minimum wage. LAist's Asian American Communities reporter Josie Huang shares her reporting with us at the salon near work. To learn more about her report, check out her article on LAist.com

From April, 2.7 million workers will get one of the biggest pay rises in UK history as the National Living Wage rises to £11.44 an hour. But will they feel better off?It's 25 years since the National Minimum Wage was introduced. During that time it's credited with putting billions of extra pounds in the pockets of low-paid workers. But, despite that, according to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, two thirds of households living in poverty have at least one adult in work. And, according to the Institute for Fiscal studies, far from cutting the annual benefits bill, the cost of benefits paid to working families has ballooned since 1999 to about 50 billion pounds a year. So what's behind this low pay puzzle? And what can employers, governments and workers do to ensure that work pays? Pauline Mason investigates.Presenter: Pauline Mason Producer: Ravi Naik Editor: Clare Fordham.Contributors: Kate Bell, TUC Assistant General Secretary and former low pay commissioner Damian Grimshaw, Professor of Employment Studies, Kings College London and London & South Forum Co-Lead at the Productivity Institute Patricia Findlay, Distinguished Professor of Work and Employment Relations, University of Strathclyde, and Director of the Scottish Centre for Employment Research Matthew Fell, Low Pay Commissioner and Director of Competitiveness at BusinessLDN Nye Cominetti, Principal Economist, the Resolution Foundation James Cockett, Labour Market Economist, CIPD Margaret Esapa, Managing Director and owner, Cherry Care Services, Oxfordshire Conor Taylor, Director, Foresso

When Stephanie Land set out to write her memoir, Maid, she never could have imagined what was to come. Handpicked by President Barack Obama as one of the best books of 2019 and later adapted into the hit Netflix series Maid, Stephanie's escape out of poverty and abuse in search of a better life inspired millions. Maid was a story about a house cleaner, but it was also a story about a woman with a dream. In her new book, Class, Land takes us with her as she finishes college and pursues her writing career. Facing barriers at every turn including a byzantine loan system, not having enough money for food, navigating the judgments of professors and fellow students who didn't understand the demands of attending college while under the poverty line — Land finds a way to survive once again, finally graduating in her mid-thirties. Class paints an intimate portrait of motherhood as it converges and often conflicts with personal desire and professional ambition. Who has the right to create art? Who has the right to go to college? And what kind of work is valued in our culture? Class grapples with these questions, offering a searing indictment of America's educational system and an inspiring testimony of a mother's triumph against all odds. Stephanie Land is the author of the New York Times bestseller Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive, called “a testimony…worth listening to,” by The New York Times and inspiration for the Netflix series Maid. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Guardian, The Atlantic, and many other outlets. Her writing focuses on social and economic justice and parenting under the poverty line. She is a frequent speaker at colleges and national advocacy organizations. Find out more at Stepville.com. Sara K. Runnels is a seasoned humor writer, copywriter and writer-writer living in Seattle, WA.

All of Sarah and Liz's New Year momentum has been sucked away by Influenza A and Covid-19. To regain their sense of purpose, they've decided that January 16 will be their new New Year's Day. In Take A Hike, they discuss how asking how decision making is made easier by asking yourself, “Is it a 10?” Pondering a rich dessert? Is it a 10? Contemplating a new side project? Is it a 10? Then they answer a Mailroom question about why there might be multiple projects about the same subject matter. Sarah shares a Hollywood Hack that will improve your smile — the Waterpik Sonic-Fusion 2.0 toothbrush. Finally, Liz recommends Maid and Class, two gripping memoirs from writer Stephanie Land.

Stephanie Land's 2019 memoir Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay and a Mother's Will to Survive was a visceral portrait of living in poverty as a single mom, cleaning houses. It was a bestseller and later adapted into a critically acclaimed Netflix series. Now Land has a new book, Class, about her experience juggling college, motherhood, and work. During that time she experienced food insecurity, and struggled to get government assistance. "I see such a lack of empathy toward people who live in the margins of society," she tells Tonya Mosley. Also, rock critic Ken Tucker reviews the new album from guitarist Marnie Stern, and David Bianculli reviews the latest season of Fargo.

Those living in poverty often aren't seen or acknowledged on a daily basis by the rest of society. There are organizations and government agencies that try to help. And many who express empathy, but do they really know how difficult life is for someone who doesn't have resources and may not know where their next meal is coming from. With that in mind, it's not a big surprise that there aren't a lot of books or TV shows about poor people. So, when Stephanie Land's debut book Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay and a Mother's Will to Survive, chronicling her struggles as a single mother living in poverty became a best seller in 2019, it opened many readers' eyes about how hard day-to-day living is for poor people. More people  learned about it when Maid inspired a TV series on Netflix. Stephanie Land has written a new book – that just went on sale Tuesday called Class: A Memoir of Motherhood, Hunger, and Higher Education that describes her time trying to juggle raising a daughter, a pregnancy, going to college to get a degree, not bringing in much money and fighting to realize her dream of becoming a writing. Stephanie Land was on The Spark Friday. Stephanie Land will appear at Midtown Scholar Bookstore in Harrisburg this Saturday, November 11th at 6 p.m. to discuss and sign copies of her new book.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For Bram Zeigler, an economist and unapologetic capitalist, changing the narrative on poverty starts with dignity and self-determination.  In 2021, Bram founded Capitalists for Shared Income (C4si).  Inspired by the work of Milton Friedman, who advocated for a negative income tax in the late 1960s, C4si offers an innovative approach to address poverty and income inequality.  Through one-time debit card cash payments of $58, C4si partners with existing nonprofit organizations that work with the disenfranchised to lift them out of poverty.  While $58 may not seem like a lot to many listeners, it can make a lasting difference to someone in need of groceries, a tank of gas, or an oil change.  Bram intentionally chose $58, which is "a day's pay" for anyone working a job at today's federal minimum wage.  That's a full day's pay — $ 58.While he sees a role for the government in addressing income inequality, Bram's focus is on the private sector.  Despite its imperfections, Bram believes that capitalism is the best economic system we have devised to allocate resources and reward individual effort efficiently.  For the system to work for everyone, however, Bram believes that the individuals and organizations who reap the benefits of a free market economy are also responsible for self-regulating and addressing the widening income disparities between rich and poor.  Working with his board, partner organizations, and investors, Bram is applying his expertise in Asset Management to raise an endowment to fund C4si's cash distributions.  Through C4si, Bram has created a life with social impact, one debit card at a time.  Episode Links and Resources:Capitalists for Shared IncomeA New Year's Resolution For Capitalism, Kevin Coldiron, Forbes, January 6, 2022Milton Friedman - The Negative Income Tax, interview on “The Firing Line with William F.

Pick a number and here's the question: over the last 11 years CEO pay in credit unions has gone up 2% per year, 5% per year, or greater than 10% per year?Take a deep breath now. The answer is 7.5%, said Kirk Kordleski, past CEO of Bethpage Credit Union, one of the nation's biggest, and now a consultant specializing in retirement plans with OM Financial.If that number rocks you, grab tight now because in this podcast Kordeleski explains why the CEO who can successfully lead your credit union in today's hyper competitive marketplace will need that big annual raise and also why he or she is well worth the money.The reason for both is competition. The number of CEO openings in credit unions is growing and that's because Baby Boomers (born in the 1946 - 1964 span) are fast retiring.There's also just a lot more competition and a good CEO needs a range of skills.  The complexity of the job just is so much greater now than it was a generation ago.Open your checkbook wide when you are out shopping for a new CEO. It's just not going to get any cheaper.Know too that what a CEO is paid directly determines how much the other executives in the c-suite earn and their pay shapes how much just about everybody in the organization is paidThis show is in a Money Talks series where credit union compensation is untangled.  This show will help some executives negotiate better pay packages and will also help some board members understand the ways in which 2023 credit union compensation is utterly different from 1993 comp plans, even 2013 plans because now competition for talent is so much fiercer.Hear episode one in Money Talks here.  Episode 2 is here.

 Today, Hunter is joined by two guests hoping their lawsuit against the state of Wisconsin will bring vital changes to the State's Public Defender System. Hank Schultz and John Birdsall have a combined experience of more than 40 years of working as criminal defense attorneys in Wisconsin. Through this experience, they are acutely aware of the history of inadequate pay for contract counsel and tough on crime policies that have pushed indigent defense to a state of crisis.     For decades, the state of Wisconsin paid the attorneys willing to serve as contract counsel for indigent clients a paltry rate of $40 per hour. At that rate, attorneys could not even cover the cost of overhead, and that rate did not change from 1995 until 2020. As a result of these low rates, less and less attorneys were willing to take on cases. Meanwhile, more people were forced to wait months and months just to speak to an attorney. In doing so, the state flagrantly violated the right to counsel and right to speedy trial of countless people, and yet, even raise to $70 per hour the state implemented in 2020 was nowhere close to addressing the magnitude of the problem.     Despite the main issue the state faces being the low pay for contract counsel, Hank and John have sought a creative remedy in their lawsuit. By the end of this episode, you will have a clear understanding of how the state ended being sued, why a lawsuit was necessary, and the potential ways other state's may be able to learn from this case!!   Guests:   Hank Schultz, Retired Criminal Defense Attorney, Former Contract Counsel Wisconsin Public Defense John Birdsall, Criminal Defense Attorney, Former Contract Counsel Wisconsin Public Defense      Key Topics and Takeaways: How Hank and John got Involved in Public Defense in Wisconsin [9:20] Structural Issues with Wisconsin Public Defense [17:20] How long has Attorney Pay been an Issue in the State [21:17] History of the Tough on Crime Policies of Wisconsin [24:35] Attorney Shortages Around the State [29:20] Goals of the Lawsuit [39:28] Explaining the Strategy of the Lawsuit [43:10] Response from the State [50:30] Response from the Public Defender's Office [54:33]     Resources:   History of Low Pay for Contract Counsel More Insight into Low Pay in Wisconsin  State v.

Margaret Qualley joins the show to talk about her role in Maid, the Netflix limited series inspired by Stephanie Land's New York Times best-selling memoir, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive. Margaret plays Alex, a young mother struggling to overcome poverty and homelessness after escaping from an abusive relationship. In this interview, Qualley shares what made her the most nervous going into the series, details what it was like to act alongside her mother Andie MacDowell for the first time, and explains how she won over her 4 year-old co-star Rylea Nevaeh Whittet (who plays her daughter Maddy in the show).  Qualley also walks us through her career as a dancer, opens up about how she's dealt with the overwhelming urge to strive for perfection, and expresses her desire to be cast in a comedy.
