The perfect Mother’s Day gift for Washington’s working moms?Wage equality and family friendly benefits
05.07.2010 | This Sunday, thousands of moms will be recognized and appreciated for all they do.

More Washington women are primary breadwinners, but a new report shows their economic progress has stalled out.

By contrast, a combination of new state taxes and federal aid to fill the state’s budget gap could save up to 30,000 jobs.
