They each have young children.During the pandemic, my son, daughter-in-law and baby granddaughter in Florida were alone, with no nearby relatives — as were we.After the pandemic, we decided that we should move to Florida to help them out, and in turn, they would be there for us as we aged.They were also excited and encouraged us to purchase a home near them. We bought a home (over FaceTime!), sold our other home, quit our local clubs and activities and moved.We quickly realized we had made a mistake and that we didn’t like living in Florida.We assumed we would become an integral part of our kids’ lives, but their expectations were totally different. We only babysat twice in six months!After six months, we moved back to the Southwest.We are now working to resume our old lives, but my daughter-in-law no longer calls us or participates in ...

Gender employment gap still persists in 2022

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:29:24 GMT

In 2022, the EU’s gender employment gap was 10.7 percentage points (pp), 0.2 pp lower than in 2021.The gender employment gap is defined as the difference between the employment rates of men and women aged 20-64.A variety of reasons cause gender disparities in employment, such as unpaid care responsibilities of women, hiring discrimination, and scarcity of women in leadership. Additionally, factors like inadequate childcare, tax disincentives, and occupational segregation contribute to enduring gender employment gaps.There were only two EU regions, among those classified at level 2 of the nomenclature of territorial units for statistics (NUTS 2), that registered a higher employment rate among women in 2022: the Capital Region of Lithuania (Sostinės regionas) and South Finland (Etelä-Suomi) in Finland. In the region of North and East Finland (Pohjois- ja Itä-Suomi) there was no difference in employment rates between men and women. In all the other EU regions, the gender gap persisted ...

A conservative attack on government regulation reaches the Supreme Court

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:29:24 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a challenge to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s ability to fight fraud, part of a broad attack on regulatory agencies led by conservative and business interests.The case before the justices Wednesday involves the Biden administration’s appeal of a lower-court ruling that threw out stiff financial penalties imposed on hedge fund manager George R. Jarkesy by the SEC.The high court’s decision could have far-reaching effects on the SEC and other regulatory agencies, and it’s just one of several cases this term that could constrict federal regulators. The court’s conservative majority has already reined them in, including in last May’s decision sharply limiting their ability to police water pollution in wetlands.Last year, a divided panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Jarkesy and his Patriot28 investment adviser group on three separate issues.It...

(CNN) — A los 10 meses de edad, Kfir Bibas ha pasado más de una quinta parte de su joven vida en cautiverio; su rostro de ojos saltones y su cabello rojo brillante son un vívido símbolo del dolor y sufrimiento que soportan las familias rehenes de Israel.Más de 50 días después de su secuestro por militantes de Hamas en su casa en el sur de Israel, la familia de Kfir dice que no están más cerca de saber si está a salvo o incluso vivo.“Estamos muy, muy preocupados por él”, dijo a CNN Eylon Keshet, un primo de la familia, sosteniendo una fotografía del bebé.“No estamos seguros de si podrá lograrlo.

The Detroit automaker on Wednesday reinstated its full-year earnings forecast that was withdrawn after the United Auto Workers began targeting the factories of Detroit automakers with strikes on Sept. 15. Those strikes continued at GM until Oct. 30.The company now predicts full-year net income of $9.1 billion to $9.7 billion, down from its previous outlook of $9.3 billion to $10.7 billion.
