I work at a company in Nova. I just hired a lovely women with MBA and great experience at low wage for what she is worth. She is a new mom with a husband with big job DC

She took it as it is a straight 9-5 job no OT ever. My office is literally one mile her house. We are hybrid two days remote. She leaves every day 445pm to pick up one year old. She literally can run errands at lunch.

It is a housewife job. They exist. But she is WFH two days a week and even home by 5pm on in person days.

no 9-5 job is housewife job.

Housewife job is like 9-12pm, covering preschool hours

You are a POS

DP.

Inaccurate. HS teachers work more hours than that and that is definitely a housewife job.

So teachers are housewife jobs? No wonder our education system is in tatters.

Yes. NYC you have to have a masters degree to be a preschool teacher and they were offering pay of $15/hour like wtf??? Now is more like $25 for head teacher with experience (and masters) AND STILL

For example, one I found in another small city--it's not in the DC area and cost of living is lower, but a 1 bedroom apartment (not luxury or fancy, just a decent apartment) averages about $1000/month.
The job was for the city in their zoning/city planning department. They required a BA in a relevant degree and at least one year of experience, but preferred 5+ years of experience.
The pay? Just under $20/hr (40 hour work week.) That seems REALLY low to me. For comparison, I just looked and jobs at the local Sheetz gas station are paying $14.50/hr.

Am I just out of touch, or is that pay (for the city job) shockingly low?

Typically urban planning/zoning does not pay well. That has been the case for several decades.

They pay the minimum they need to to fill the position.

This is why we need living wage laws.

Best answer. The market determines the wages. Businesses have to generate the most money for their shareholders. This is a capitalist country.
There are enough people willing to take those jobs.

Yes this. I actually worked at Wawa for a while because I earned more and had more hours. I now work with adults who have development disabilities because the hours are more flexible. I work weekends evenings so she can take care of the kids. When the youngest is in full day school I may find a nanny position. Low pay is one thing but why take low pay for high stress? DHs job has benefits.

I work as an ICU RN and jobs (requiring a bachelor's degree in nursing and multiple years of experience) routinely want to pay me less than I paid my nanny. It's wild.

The problem is now anything with reasonable hours and work-life balance is considered a housewife job. The above job, that should be the norm for most jobs regardless of who does them.

Right?! A 9-5 where people can get 15 minutes of flexibility on start/end times, a hybrid schedule, and the ability to run errands on lunch breaks isn't a "housewife job," it's just a normal professional job. Sure maybe it doesn't make $300k, but most don't.

You are the reason I don't wear any rings or talk about my kids/family at work.

She wore no ring, and used I in all interviews to appear single. I found this out afterwards. She did not even mention She lives one mile away gave generic “county” as address in resume.

I also hired a young single guy who lives nearby ago likes to party all the time and has hobbies. I also hired a strict Muslim who wants to get to mosque quickly.

I myself make 100k a year less than my very demanding job.

The fact going to a office 3 days a week till 445 pm up the block your house and remote two days should pay less than a 8 am to 7 pm job five days a week in person job. I get paid 100k less.

Next week got a 63 year old guy in area interviewing 150k paycut from demanding job he was laid off from last year.

Teaching has always been a single women housewife job.

My sister when I worked on Wall Street “claimed I was overpaid as she only made $90k at time and I made $180k at time.

But I left for work at 645am and got home 715 pm and she left for work at 8 am and got home 3:15 pm and had all summer off and breaks. Of course she made 1/2. In fact did math she made more per hour.

I think remote and 35 hour work week jobs near their house are crazy if they think they deserve the same as in person 5 day a week jobs with 10 hour days.

In fact I took a BS 9-5 job to get MBA, I could study at lunch. Boss let me run out door at 430 pm on school days of course I got paid less.

They attract housewives, kids out of school living at home and people at end of career.

I am. The women I hired never told me she is married, has a kid or lived nearby. Total coincidence she was looking for childcare at a place near office and it leaked back to me. It is funny. I wished the moms happy Mother’s Day but not her as she is “single” very weird. I don’t care. But I was curious why she took a job at that pay but it makes sense. That same person leaked where husband works. She does. It really have to work at all.

I love it as so funny.

You guys know a housewife is someone who stays home taking care of a house and kids, right? There's no such thing as a full time professional "housewife job" by definition...

No teacher is home at 315 pm, and they have tons of grading and planning.
