How Much is a Stay-at-Home Parent Worth?
It's a question that has been asked often, and several studies over the years have even attached a number to the job. The latest figure was calculated by Salary.com and the result was reported on many Web sites recently (like this Reuters article), and it adds up to $138,095.
I can't say I'm surprised, but apparently, a few folks got their panties in a wad about it. Come on people, it's just a study. Noone is saying stay-at-home moms should be paid $130,000 per year (although that would be lovely) by the government or anything like that. Some people conducted a study to see what all those jobs stay-at-homes do would add up to IF they were part of a traditional, pick-up-your-paycheck-on-Friday kinda job. But hey, it's a free country. Think what you'd like.
