[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the lesson learned here is: If you're unemployed for a long time, it is harder to get back into the paid work force. It may take much longer to get a job. You may have to start from a lower rung in the hierarchy. You may not get paid as much as before you left the work force. And the only reason this is news is because it is about middle-class and upper-middle-class women making this shocking discovery. Ok, I'm going to go back to looking at pictures of cats on the internet now. [/quote] +1 What bothers me is that the women didn't anticipate that problem? I don't have children yet, and I realize that is a problem. If you leave the workforce for a year or more, it's going to be hard to jump back in. period. It doesn't matter who you are. Sure, there are outliers, but how do people not anticipate this problem when they decide to stay at home? [/quote]
