W: Nice to see you.
M: Good seeing you.
W: Thank you...Well, you know, they say a mother’s work is never done, and it is so true. According to the folks at salary.com, though, stay-at-home moms would earn more than $131,000 a year if they were paid for the many jobs that they do. How did you come up with this number?
M: We’ asked a group of mothers what they did on a daily basis, on a normal basis, and asked them to couch it in terms of jobs that they see in the classifieds or job that they hear about on job boards. And we found that they’re looking at jobs like teachers and drivers, maids, etc. And...
W: And I’m sure they left a lot off this list.
M: Yes.
W: You ended up breaking down, in fact, into sort of seven big categories.
M: Correct.
W: And I want to run through them, because you assign those then number figures. For example, teacher/day care center, $26,000. A van driver, $30,000. A housekeeper, $18,000. It sounds low to me. Cook, $31,000. CEO, $612,000. A nurse, 56 grand. Handyman, $29,656. How did you crunch those numbers then to get the annual salary, which you’ll see, with base pay and then overtime pay, which you calculate, came out to a little over $131,000?
M: Well, at salary.com, what we do is we determine the market value of all of those jobs and thousands of others. And then, for this particular situation, we looked at how the mothers spent their time. And they told us, when they were telling us what they did, you actually just listed the jobs in the order in which they said they were spending their time.
So that number one answer was teacher and number two was driver. Apparently, we have a lot of soccer moms out there. And so, we weighted it based on the amount of time they spent and what they called the relative importance of each job.
W: Did 131,000 surprise you, that number, you think?
M: Yes and no. I mean, I heard you say earlier it should be a seven-figure job.
W: That’s just me.
M: My mother said the same. It’s not particularly surprising when you take into account the number of hours that mothers spend. They were saying about 100 hours per week, which is an awful lot of time. That’s investment banker hours.
W: And if you talk about mothers who are working outside the home and then come in from work and then pick up sort of what they call the second shift, you say that should be another $88,000 tacked onto a working outside the home mom’s salary.
M: Well, it depends upon how you calculate overtime, but somewhere in the $70,000 to $80,000 range, you know. It depends on whether it’s a first job or second job.
W: So then, give me a sense of why mothers are so woefully not paid or underpaid or not valued, maybe more relevantly, for their time, when obviously no matter where you’re arguing the dollar sign there, it’s worth a lot.
M: It is worth a lot. And that’s part of the reason that salary.com thought it was important to do the study. I think that one of the issues is that motherhood has been around forever and people take it for granted. And even the mothers themselves feel a little self-conscious when they have to say it’s not just a working mother. That’s a job, and it’s a six-figure job.
11. How much would a nurse earn on a yearly basis according to salary.com?
12. Salary.com ended up breaking down all the work a stay-at-home mom does in seven big categories. Which of the following is NOT one of them?
13. What does the term "soccer mom" in this interview mean?

15. Why does salary.com think it is important to do the study?
