This should be the norm, not the exception. The fact that it made news is a statement in itself. (Using my old cane voice), I remember walking to work pushing my daughter in her stroller for about 3 miles to a job watching the "job creators" brats at a beauty club of some sort for $1.65 an hour - minimum wage at the time.

I had to wear a white dress, kind of like the old nurse dresses. This was in Long Beach, CA and only took the job because I could bring my daughter - and because we needed the dinero of course. My husband had a crappy job delivering tropical fish to LAX in the middle of the night. Of course, he made a bit more, being a man. Some things never change.

I had to go through a rather sketchy neighborhood to get there. I'll never forget some of the creeps that would pull over to see if I needed a ride. Must have been that short (for the time) white dress. You would think those rich bitches would tip a buck or two for changing their kid's shitty diapers and cleaning up spit up, but noooooo.
