Alabama state standard of living -- Part 4
WalletHub.com survey of factors concerning women in the workplace - statewide
Rankings among the 50 states and D.C.:
47th - Quality of Day Care alternatives
21st - Access to pediatric services (highest ranking)**
48th - Gender % pay gap (female to male for equal jobs)
50th - Female execs to male execs.
25th - Median women's salaries
44th - Female unemployment rate
35th - Parental leave policies within the state
32nd - Length of average women's work day
49th - % of single mother's families in poverty
Highest ranked states: VT, MN, CN
** This ranking may be due to the Children's Hospital in B'ham. Since about 70% of its patients are paid for through MEDICAID, lack of full state funding for Medicaid may force a reduction in its services after Oct.1st 2016 similar to what happened at Mercy Hospital. First the closure of medical services (like the oncology services at CGH) and then the elimination of certain types or all inpatient care.
