Good news, moms! You all get a 3% raise this year!
Because 3% of zero is, guess what? That's right, zero! Yep, this year
all you SAHMs aren't getting a whopping $134,121 (national average - the national high was $191,983) salary for everything
you do. There. Don't you feel better now about picking up all those
crushed and ground-in Cheerios from the carpet this morning?
But
hey, in case you were thinking differently, working moms haven't been
left out of the new increase! Nope, all you moms who work, guess what?
That's right, you're not getting $85,000 this year for the job you
do after that other one you do, the one that actually pays real money. Where else can you work two jobs yet only get paid for one?
Salary.com
broke down all the myriad jobs performed on a daily basis by moms and came up
with 90-plus hours per week of work done in job titles like Housekeeper, Day Care Center
Teacher, Cook, Computer Operator I, Laundry Machine Operator, Janitor,
Facilities Manager, Chief Executive Officer, Van Driver, Psychologist.
I think they forgot a few. What about Referee, Entertainer, and
Personal Assistant? Or Art Teacher, Dishwasher, and Librarian?
I'm thinking of striking for better working conditions, since we're not getting paid anyway. Care to join me?
