This Mother’s Day, millions of women can celebrate that the soaring economy makes this one of the best times to be a working mother. The tremendous economy, ample job opportunities, and the demolition of barriers to work make it possible for women to pursue careers, work for themselves, and raise families.

This contradicts a new ranking of the best and worst states for working women by WalletHub and several left-leaning organizations. They conclude that blue states are “more friendly to working moms” than red states by nearly a 2-to-1 ratio. They claim that women in red states face greater gender inequality in pay, hiring, and leadership and face greater trade-offs to working versus staying at home.
