The Best of Both Worlds

I hope a lot of business owners read this article in the Wall Street Journal. It says businesses who give hard working moms flexible and fewer hours in exchange for less pay, end up with better outcomes. I totally agree! Many women can't afford to and maybe don't want to completely give up their careers when they start a family. Fewer hours and flexible hours is the key to keeping smart women in the workforce. Research shows you are better off keeping these people as employees as opposed to hiring someone who is mediocre, yet willing to work 60 hours a week.

FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL:Instead of treating such women as pathetic losers to be jettisoned for a new crop of recruits, she argued, companies should recognize them as a "precious resource." Such women could bring experience, continuity and talent to middle-management jobs traditionally occupied by short-termers on their way up or "mediocre" men whose ambitions outstripped their ability.

Women Work Hours

I completely think this is true. My husband used to work 60 hours a week, sometimes more. I totally thought about downsizing our minivan and our house ( not that they are extravagant by any means) and quitting my job. I didn't like that we weren't home with the kids every night. I still don't like that I am not home at night and I do have to work 10 hours more a week now (which stinks), but it does make me feel better that my hubby is at home with the kids at night instead of a babysitter. It's tough being a dual income family! Do you and your husband work? How is that working for you?

FROM NBC: A woman's career may be derailed if her husband works long hours. Cornell researchers looked at data on more than 26-thousand employees in dual-income households.

Overall -- women were more likely to quit their jobs when their husbands worked more than 60 hours a week. The likelihood of quitting was even greater among working mothers.

Researchers found that working women still carried much of the burden of household cleaning, cooking and caregiving duties... and didn't have as much time for paid work. Men's careers didn't seem impacted at all by the amount of time their wives spent at the office. they were no more likely to quit whether their wives worked 5 or 50 hours per week.
