Salary.com Reveals Stay-at-Home Moms are Worth $162,581 a Year[/b]

https://www.hrdive.com/press-release/20180514-salarycom-reveals-stay-at-home-moms-are-worth-162581-a-year/

WALTHAM, MA (May 13, 2018) - If stay-at-home moms earned an annual salary for all the hours they put toward tending to the duties of their households and children, how much would they earn? Today – in honor of Mother’s Day – Salary.com, the leading SaaS provider of cloud-based compensation data and analytics, released its 18thannual Mom Salary survey, which puts a price tag on a priceless job: motherhood.

By selecting a handful of jobs that reflect a day in the life of a mom and pulling the market compensation data for those same roles, Salary.com determined that the median annual salary of a mother for 2018 is $162,581– rising nearly $5,000 from 2017 calculations.

Through surveying thousands of working and stay-at-home moms, the 18thannual Mom Salary Survey determined a mother’s most time-consuming tasks – and the hours spent on each one. Since 2000, Salary.com has tracked how a mom’s role has morphed over the years, and how the value of this hybrid role has continued to rise. With a nearly 96-hour work-week and a six-figure annual rate, moms may be the most valuable workers in the country.

“While it’s difficult to put a price tag on a job like being a mother, we at Salary.com would like to honor all the moms out there who work their hardest day-in and day-out,” said Alys Reynders Scott, Chief Marketing Officer, Salary.com. “We would like to recognize both professional and stay-at-home Moms on their unwavering dedication to their families and other responsibilities. The work ethic does not go unnoticed or unappreciated, and we were not surprised at the substantial salary we calculated this year. It is money well-earned.”

In addition to traditional roles like performing the duties of a cook, housekeeper, nurse, and nutritionist, moms of today have more responsibilities than ever before. For example, with the rise of technology, moms are expected to sharpen their knowledge around computers, tablets, smartphones, and social media – making them extremely well-rounded in their skillsets and very valuable in terms of earning potential.

As a WOHM with a spouse who is a WOHF, does that mean that we, too, get an additional $162k in compensation for doing all of these things?[/quote]

No it is not compensated. It is labor worth that amount for the family. But you are welcome to pay yourself that much from your income if you want. Or do it for free like the SAHM does for her family or pay someone that amount if you want to outsource it.

In all of this conversation it is important to understand that everyone is different in how much money they need to meet their dreams and goals. For many families, 150k HhI is a kingly amount. You either live below your means or you bring in more monet There is no other way to meet your financial goals.

OP and his wife are not on the same page. I think that there is no love lost between these two. I am a SAHM, and I would go and work on a fast food place or become an Uber driver if my family needed the money. There is something hinkey in OPs situation. It is not financial issues but marital issues.[/quote]
