"Women are still the ones that are carrying the greatest burden when it comes to trying to balance family and work," President Obama said last week to a group of women who serve in the U.S. Congress.
With this in mind, he is now planning a "White House Summit on Working Families" to take place this summer.
Obama is no doubt preparing to cast stones at the private sector. He really ought to look at his own administration.
Since Obama has been in office, according to data from the Office of Personnel Management, the percentage of women in the civilian federal work force has been shrinking. Before Obama took office, it was already smaller than the percentage in the overall national civilian labor force. Under Obama, it has gotten smaller still.
