Are stay-at-home moms worth $134,121?
How much are you getting paid to be home with your kids?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
What is a stay-at-home mom worth to her family?
Well, according to www.salary.com she should be worth up to $134,121. The site talked to moms about how they spend their time and divided their work week into the jobs they do most often. The jobs included housekeeper, day care center teacher, cook, janitor and van driver to name a few. The salary was figured by what those jobs normally pay per hour. By the way in the site’s calculations, moms get paid for overtime!
Moms who work outside the home weren’t left out of the study. According to the site’s calculations “working Moms would earn $85,876 annually for the ‘mom job’ portion of their work, in addition to their actual ‘work job’ salary.�
Check out the site to calculate your own salary.
Is this number total nonsense or worthwhile so husbands and children appreciate how much moms do? What do you get paid to take care of your family?
