A Cook, Psychologist, and Nurse All in One…
Salary.com’s 7th annual Mom Salary Survey found that if mothers were compensated fairly for the actual hours logged “on the job” as a caretaker, stay-at-home moms would earn $138,095 and working moms would earn $85,939 per year.
Salary.com took the national median salary for 10 positions, including housekeeper, cook and janitor, to calculate the hypothetical salary.
Overtime hours padded the salary, since most stay-at-home moms spend an average of 92 hours a week working.
Working moms logged an average of 49 hours beyond their full-time paying jobs, according to the survey.
At some point, many stay-at-home moms will seek to re-enter the workforce. Salary.com found that over 95% of employers do hire former stay-at-home moms and over 80% are actively recruiting moms re-entering the workforce.
