6 days ago | komonews.com | Alex Gailey

Key takeawaysFull-time working mothers with children under 18 earned a median salary of $56,680, while their male counterparts earned $76,388 in 2024, according to Bankrate’s analysis of Census Bureau Current Population Survey (CPS) data. That’s a 35 percent pay gap, wider than 2023 and 2022. There appears to be no “penalty” for men when it comes to parenthood.

Nationally, an average mortgage payment costs 38 percent more per month compared to average rent. The metros with the smallest price gaps between renting and buying are mostly concentrated in the Rust Belt, including Detroit, Philadelphia and Cleveland.

One chart every investor should read - especially those who have been whipsawed by the recent market volatility

1 month ago | kktv.com | Alex Gailey

Whiplash may be the best word to describe the stock market recently. The announcement of Trump’s reciprocal tariffs earlier this month sent investors into a frenzy. The S&P 500 teetered on the edge of bear market territory, at one point dropping almost 19 percent below its all-time high on Feb. 19. Then stocks shot back up after Trump announced a 90-day pause on most reciprocal tariffs, with the exception of China. On April 9, the S&P 500 experienced its third-largest gain in a single day since 1980.
