Today’s reminder: your worth isn’t measured in loads of laundry, your home doesn’t have to be spotless to be loving, and rest is a right, not a reward.

What joy are you choosing while the housework waits?

Inequality has never been so extreme. Economics can’t explain it because it’s structurally designed to ignore exploitation. Profit is unpaid labor extracted from workers.

Study Shows Valuing Unpaid Household and Care Work Narrows US Income Inequality, But the Equalizing Effect Has Weakened Since 1965 A recent study published in the March 2026 issue of the Journal of Public Economics examines how including the economic value of unpaid housework and child care alters our understanding of income inequality and living standards in the United States from 1965 to 2018. Researchers valued unpaid domestic work—such as cooking, cleaning, and caregiving—using the typical hourly wage for housekeepers and incorporated it into measures of 'extended income' and 'extended consumption.' The findings reveal that unpaid labor historically acted as a significant equalizer because households across income levels spent similar amounts of time on these tasks. For example, adding the value of extra unpaid hours in lower-income families (often with a stay-at-home spouse) substantially reduced apparent income gaps between high- and low-earning households. However, over the five decades, the time devoted to unpaid work declined sharply, primarily due to women reducing their hours from 37 to 24 per week as more entered paid employment, while men's contributions rose only modestly from 12 to 15 hours. This shift eroded the buffering effect of unpaid work, particularly impacting lower-income households where it represented a larger share of total resources. As a result, inequality in extended income grew by 66% (compared to 40% in conventional measures), and extended consumption inequality rose by 18% (versus 4% conventionally). Single-parent families, mostly led by mothers, experienced no net gain in living standards relative to married couples when unpaid work was factored in, despite increases in paid earnings. Overall, extended income for a typical family grew only 40% over the period, far slower than the 69% rise in market income, highlighting that conventional metrics may overstate improvements in living standards for lower-income Americans by ignoring the loss of self-provided services.

When unpaid cooking, cleaning and child care get a dollar value, income inequality in the US shrinks – but the gap has grown since 1965 Women’s unpaid work at home has declined much more than men’s contributions have increased.

But the problem is that the unpaid laborer, usually the woman DOESNT get paid. Do it seems to me the gap remains wide

Society simultaneously degrades #Women doing the necessary #work & shames them if they rise to a level to hire those #jobs out to others. Yet these are #luxury #services to the #elites. However in other countries it's part of #CommunityCare and robust #EconomicEquality. #UnpaidLabor runs the world.

" #WomensWork " is always packaged as either demeaning or a luxury. It's a duty if it's a #Mother doing it as #UnpaidLabor. #Men get paid well if it's packaged as being a #PrivateChef or a #Custodian for an estate. But when women do the same #work, it's looked down on as #unskilled thus, less #money

The fact that the left isn't calling, en masse, for an #unpaidlabor strike shows me just how invisible this labor is even to a lot of people who claim to understand oppression.

I am serious when I call for an #unpaidlabor strike, btw.

Do you know how much the US runs on people--namely oppressed people--doing free or very low cost labor (e.g. sheltered workplaces)?

Think of the women who work as unpaid secretaries for churches and put potlucks together. (more)

An #unpaidlabor strike by everyone forced into caregiving/unpaid work--largely (but not exclusively!) women and girls, and Disabled and Neurodivergent people--would shut the US down within hours and I am frustrated no one is talking about it.
