  • Alyssa Burns, 24, is photographed at a park on Friday, Oct. 7, 2022, in Orlando, Fla. It has always been difficult to be pregnant on the job and to raise a child, but especially so for low-wage workers. They are more likely to work in physically demanding roles with fewer labor protections and less flexibility than higher-wage jobs. When Burns, a warehouse worker earning $16 an hour, learned she was pregnant she came to the agonizing conclusion she couldn’t go through with it. (AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack)Health

  • Nate Mullins, a former bartender from Oak, Harbor, Wash., who quit his job last November after clashing with managers over enforcing mask rules, poses for a photo near a street mural Monday, May 17, 2021, in Mount Vernon, Wash. There’s a wild card in the push to return to post-pandemic life: many workers don’t want to return to the jobs they once had. Mullins’ unemployment checks don’t match what he was making at the bar, but they’re enough to get by while he looks for jobs that would provide health care and retirement benefits.
