>managers mistreat employees during an interview... that's a huge red flag

This is my answer too. If I sniff some bad interpersonal chemistry during the interview process, it's almost always a no. Barring absolute desperation, the higher wage (probably) won't offset hate-my-life-in-12-to-15-months, or, worse, step-into-some-pit-yielding-months-of-unemployment.

So, in the first few months I did pump once a night just to get some extra milk for freezing and so my husband could give him the occasional bottle. And then once I went back to work when my son was around 7.5 months I pumped more frequently, basically whenever my work schedule meant I couldn't accommodate my son's nursing rhythm.

But I think any nursing mother would tell you pumping is basically the worst of all feeding options. It is much more time intensive than nursing (need time to set up pump + actually pump, then time to feed baby, then time to clean pumping parts for the next time) but also still puts a lot of the primary feeding pressure on the person producing the milk (unlike with formula, where anyone can prepare baby's food and then give it to them). So I tried to avoid it as much as possible!

Are you telling me that you're pulling library and park expenses and counting them against the tax obligation of poor people?

I think you may need to explain what you mean.

And then "transfer" is what? Social security, Medicare, Medicaid?

It would be better to have just the beginning of each year marked on the x axis, rather than what I assume is auto-generated ticks (which are spaced every 3 quarters).

The vertical gridlines are very dense, to the point of being a distraction. It bothers me that they fade out before reaching the x axis, so that it's very hard to actually correlate them to a year/quarter.

It would be nice to embed a description of this index in the graphic, since very few people will have heard of it before.
