HOW MUCH IS A STAY-AT-HOME MOM WORTH THESE DAYS?

What would a stay-at-home mom earn today if she received a salary for all she does during the day?

Salary.com recently calculated that, in 2013, a stay-at-home mom in the United States was worth about $114,000 per year. While that six-figure salary may sound good, in order to earn it, Mom put in a 94-hour work week.

If a full-time job is 40 hours per week, this outcome means that Mom’s base salary is $37,549. With 54 hours of overtime, worth $76,037, Mom’s total salary is thus $113,586.

Why doesn't somebody do a "study" on how much a HUSBAND is worth?? Or maybe providing a home, furnishings, groceries, clothes, transportation, health & other insurance, education, telecommunication, etc.. etc.. doesn't qualify.

3:16 - ME, Too. I leave job #1 to go to job #2, then job #3 on the weekend. Job #4 = trash, lawn & house maintenance, groceries, & whatever else time permits. I know: I am not alone.

This is and always has been an idiotic argument. The job an actual stay at home mother does can not be quantified. To think that is can be is insulting to women. Also the mathematics assumes that the job requires 100% of attention 100% of the time.

This is a litmus test for people that will believe anything.
