HOUSTON -- In the debate over immigration, they are virtually unheard, unseen: the hundreds of thousands of foreign-born women, many of them in the United States illegally, who toil in America's homes as nannies, cooks and housekeepers, changing diapers and scrubbing floors. They are jobs of last resort for people whose other options are few.
In the current political dialogue, President Obama promised not to raise taxes on American families making less than $250,000 per year. He pledged to let the Bush tax cuts expire on the "rich" making more than $250,000 per year. This expiration will increase the highest marginal rate from 36 percent to 39.6 percent in 2011. However, the prospect of higher taxes does not stop there. The health care bill before Congress proposes income tax rates of up to 45 percent, and an 8-percent payroll tax on businesses that do not provide health insurance. These increased taxes are part of a package to completely overhaul the nation's health care system where 90 percent of Americans are covered and 84 percent are satisfied with their coverage. Would the dialogue be different if all Americans had to ...

A survey released last week by Salary.com posited that if a typical full-time homemaker were paid for "her" work, she would earn just more than $138,000 per year. While this mathematical concoction might elicit a prideful grin from some "typical stay-at-home mother" (as described by Reuters news service's story on the survey; not my words), it's not a story likely to generate progress for women in the work world. Reuters' report on the survey relayed, "This (figure) reflected a 3 percent raise from last year's $134,121, according to Salary.com Inc., Waltham, Massachusetts-based compensation experts. The 10 jobs listed as comprising a mother's work were housekeeper, cook, day- care center teacher, laundry machine operator, van driver, facilities manager, janitor, computer operator, chief...
The recent allegations that Dominique Strauss-Kahn, then- president of the International Monetary Fund, sexually assaulted a housekeeper in a Manhattan hotel spotlights potential dangers hotel personnel face on the job. Housekeeping employees, many of whom are female, are particularly vulnerable, since the nature of their jobs places them inside guest rooms. Incidents that rise to the level of violence alleged in the Strauss-Kahn case are extremely rare. In fact, I have never heard of any," said John Turchiano, spokesperson for the New York Hotel & Motel Trades Council, the union representing 30,000 workers in 200 New York City hotels. "But incidents of guests acting inappropriately or saying inappropriate things unfortunately happen more often than they should.
