Multiple surveys in recent years have found that basic fact, but one, the National Center for Education Statistics’ 2011-2012 Schools and Staffing Survey, broke it down by state, and the Economic Policy Institute has adjusted for inflation and put it on a map, so you can see how much teachers in your state are spending. It ranges from a low of $327 in North Dakota to a high of $664 in California. That’s the money they spend out of pocket, not what they’re reimbursed for, and it’s an average that factors in the just under 5% of teachers who don’t spend anything.

The average cost for a year of day care for a 4-year-old is about $19,122. Multiply those figures by the number of kids in the home and you get a pretty good sense of the economic value of stay-at-home parenting.

‘See Jane Win” is a bracing antidote to that dreadful November election night in 2016 when liberal women of the world watched as their champion, so close to shattering the highest glass ceiling, lost to a self-avowed assaulter. As the returns confirmed Hillary Clinton’s loss, I steeled myself with the hope that Arthur Schlesinger’s words would prove prescient: The pendulum swings. And, as author Caitlin Moscatello reveals, it has so proved.

Since so few people are referring to themselves as socialists, it might be instructive to focus on the people who refer to others as socialists. Sometimes people get referred to as “socialist” because they talk about a redistribution of wealth. According to the nonprofit Economic Policy Institute in an article from July 2019 titled “The Income-Productivity Gap,” since 1979 American productivity has increased by almost 70%.
